Stepping into the challenge zone

Everybody needs comfort and support.

However, if you spend the rest of your life trying to be comfortable,

there’s no growth.

By stepping into the challenge zone,

something that was a challenge becomes something you’re at ease with. Whereas if you stay in the comfort zone,

the older you get, the more uncomfortable and threatened you get.

If you stay in the comfort zone, it shrinks.

If you step out of it, it grows.
