I’m uncomfortable. I’m traveling abroad alone for the first time, and my plans are virtually non-existent. But you know what’s really interesting to me right now? I feel like this is the first time I’ve really left my comfort zone in a long time.
They say that growth happens completely outside of your comfort zone. That all the best experiences and moments generally happen when you’re doing something that scares you. And I believe it!
Until now, I didn’t realize that I haven’t been doing that. Almost ever. And I’m thinking that’s a problem.
Every time I’ve gone on trips, I’ve gone with friends or family. It’s always been safe; it’s always been easy. Safe and easy…
Safe and easy is comfortable. But I’m not sure it truly allows for growth. I think the vast majority of people cling to “safe and easy” constantly, and I’m only just now realizing that I’m one of those people.
And that’s almost more scary to me.
