Comfort!

But those same people wish they're successful despite doing nothing about it.
That's when comfort really becomes a handicap to reach success. You need to get out of your comfort zone!

Get it straight: nothing wrong with having some comfort, the problem is having excessive comfort.
Take a close look at your life in the past few days...
Did you do things any new thing? Did you do things that you are not used to do? Did you do things that contribute to others things besides comfort? Like personal growth - making you better? Like contribution - making others better? Simply different things you aren't used to do?
Did you do things any new thing? Did you do things that you are not used to do? Did you do things that contribute to others things besides comfort? Like personal growth - making you better? Like contribution - making others better? Simply different things you aren't used to do?
In other words, you have to manage that particular situation you're not used to do, with a different set of skills you don't use often or you don't have.
Conclusion: you have to learn something new! So, if you're feeling uncomfortable, think again, enjoy the new experience and start to call it learning.
By doing something new or recycling your capacity revisiting skills that were a little rusty, you are growing and becoming better.
If you stay in the comfort zone all the time, that means you aren't learning nothing new. You are repeating the same old things, because in reality you look for the pleasure of comfort, but now it became and habit, and it's a vicious cycle. Major problem. Here''s the kicker:
If you are comfortable all the time you are never uncomfortable
If you don't do nothing new you don't learn nothing new
You stop growing!
This is where the famous "get out of the comfort zone" quote comes into play in your journey to success.
Yup! It's cliche we know, but it's right on point!
If you do the same old things you are used to do, you will get the same results you always got. You want different results? Do different things and learn from them.

- People who hate their job, but have a good financial situation, their salary it's enough to buy and pay things they need do live. They are comfortable with it, that comfort is stopping them from quitting that job and finding a new one that they would love, and would get them to be fulfilled.
- People who love eating and have fitness goals. They love eating the same caloric foods all the the time, they love it so much that the countless hours they spend on the gym have zero results.
