You may have heard the phrase “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone” from Neale Donald Walsch but what exactly does it mean? Most of us like being safe and secure, taking the actions where we know what to expect. But this can lead to your life becoming stagnant, doing the “same old, same old” all the time.
If you want to experience more of life and push yourself to accomplish goals which might seem hard to reach, then this phrase comes into its own. It means that our life becomes richer and fuller as we decide to aim for things which make us get out of our safety zone.
For example, you may want to start a new business, but that involves networking which can be daunting – meeting new people, introducing yourself, selling your business. These can seem scary initially.
You might want to go travelling and learn another language but you think you’re too old to do that or will your language skills be good enough? This again means that your life experience won’t be as vivid because it’s difficult to go beyond your comfort zone.
But as with everything, once we take the plunge and do something a few times, the fear goes. We learn what to expect when we take new actions, and our life experience grows as a result.
For every goal we have which stretches us, fears and worries may arise because we wonder do we have what it takes to achieve it? We like being safe and secure because we know what to expect.
But are you letting life slip by without experiencing the aims you had when you were younger? Research shows that your brain is always learning. Neuroplasticity means you’re never too old to take up playing an instrument, painting, learning a new language and so on.
Going out of your comfort zone allows you to grow as a person. Your identity changes as you take actions you normally wouldn’t. You survive, you come out the other side and your confidence in yourself increases. You know you have what it takes to do the unknown and enjoy a more fulfilled life as a result.
If there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, or a goal you want to pursue but it means having to stretch yourself, remember this phrase “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”.
Don’t let your fears or concerns about the unknown diminish what you can achieve. Instead, go for it and experience the wonderful new things which lead to a richer life.
