Growing up means moving the comfort zone

Deciding to keep your comfort zone moving and adopting the habits that help us in this, means having decided to grow.

Even if we do not always get what we expect, the decision made is correct. It is the right decision. In order to be able to take two steps forward, we must take one step back.

Conversely, deciding to settle into a comfort zone means having decided to decrease. I did not write about not growing anymore, but about decreasing.

Keeping still in your comfort zone is to live life passively. Let someone else decide what we should do and what not.

This is the main reason why stopping the movement of one’s comfort zone means decreasing. Because the value of one’s life decreases.

Evaluating the quality of our decisions about the immediate result we get is a common mistake. Keeping your comfort zone steady can seem like a good choice when we value the tranquillity of life.

Just as it may seem like a bad choice to decide to learn a foreign language or eat healthily when we have to give up a few more outings with our group friends.

The judgment we have to give to our choices changes when we know that at some point we should look back to be satisfied with everything we have been able to do.
