Let’s face it, your ego is too attached to your comfort zone. It is
so used to the daily patterns, routines, and habits that it doesn’t want
anything to change. It’s clingy.
And the attachment feels safe, but
it’s also smothering. No change means no growth—and no growth means
slow death. What the ego doesn’t see is that right outside of the comfort zone , is the learning zone. And time spent in the learning zone leads to growth—and growth means life.
The first step is to
spend time understanding the ego and learning how we can remove it from
our everyday experiences. Because ego, distracts us from
important learning opportunities—both in success and in failure—(so that
it can stay inside of your comfort zone) and keeps us focused solely on
ourselves and how we compare to others. If we want to maximize our
potential, however, the focus should not be on you v/s. them, but rather
it should be on you v/s. where you were before.
Remember that the ego will do everything it can to convince you to stay
comfy and cozy right where you are with the routine and habits you
already have—rise above it and let your ego get a little uncomfortable.
The challenges that are brought forth in the learning zone are the
facilitators for growth and without them, your life will be smothered
from achieving it’s full potential. Are you ready to give your ego a
kick?
