I like my comfort zone...

I recently (last year) added this quote to one of my alternative blogs

Life is full of opportunities and staying in your comfort zone isn't one of them.

Take a leap of faith, commit to seeing life as an adventure and a journey, not a destination...

Don't be so afraid of making a mistake that you never get to enjoy all that's on offer.



However i have decided that that is such a crock... I like my comfort zone and most of time I choose not to do things - not so I won't make a mistake but because I can't afford to... either professionally, mentally/psychologically or financially.

e.g. If I really told some of the people at work exactly what i thought, I might very well not have a job to go back too... also I have enough to handle with the stuff that's going on in my personal life without adding stress and conflict at work - it is just NOT worth it sometimes to be assertive or outgoing.

Oh well... maybe I am just a coward - but at least a coward with cause!

Plus I already see life as a journey and an adventure - how could you not? I have always preferred the journey and not so much the destination anyway! Especially when you are talking about life - If it really is a journey the final destination is death... not the most inspiring destination.
