Why you must get out of your comfort zone

Do you want to reach your full potential and become all you were created to be? Then you MUST get out of your comfort zone.

All of us have our comfort zone. It is called a comfort zone because it is where we are comfortable. By default most of us like what is familiar and predictable.

There are many different ways people define their comfort zone, but the bottom line is that the comfort zone is what comes naturally to you. It is that default position that many operate from.

When you are in your comfort zone, there is no risk-taking, no pressure, and zero discomforts. Now you see why many like to stay in this place of zero risks and no discomfort.

This attempt to occupy a neutral place in a world where there is no neutral ground is extremely costly in the long run.

In life, you are either increasing or decreasing.

You are either moving forward or backward.

You are either moving up or going down.

You are either advancing or retreating.

Many deceive themselves that they can occupy a neutral place. In other words, they can sit on the fence and watch the world go by. There is no neutral place. This state of being neither hot nor cold is dangerous enough to the point that the following administration was given regarding it:

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. Revelation 3:15–17

Your comfort zone is the place of lukewarmness. While it is a comfortable place, you will not grow if you remain there. Do you want to reach your full potential?

Then you must get out of your comfort zone and step into the deep. Without discomfort, there is no growth.

The IEM APPROACH is a holistic way of life; the physical and spiritual must be in synergy for real, lasting, and sustainable success.
