The Comfort Zone
Come Out of the Box
By dwelling and lingering in the comfort zone, we crush the innermost part of our spirit that longs to be cultivated. We suppress our possibilities as well as our capabilities, ultimately denying ourselves. People become successful because they live beyond the realms of the comfort zone. They step out on faith, take chances, and most importantly believe and trust in themselves. They continuously set new goals, consistently conquer life hurdles, and create refusing to be formed.
The comfort zone is believing you are already defeated before even trying. It is becoming a victim of the barriers that you have fixated and constructed within your own mind. It is limiting yourself from a higher purpose and reason, and restricting your creative flow from full manifestation. It is the subtle suffocation that slowly cuts off your spiritual air flow, causing a spiritual abortion of dreams and goals.
It is a place that can birth bitterness, anger, and resentment, not only toward yourself but others. Why? Because it becomes and internal battle and conflict with your physical and spiritual self by not fulfilling your god given purpose, which creates unhappiness. When this begins to happen, you may start to feel the friction and discomfort from working against the grain of life, and it becomes a very frustrating and painful feeling sometimes.
You were created for a specific purpose filled destiny, and placed here in this physical realm to fulfill it. So when you operate outside of who you truly are, not becoming the vessel of truth the Lord called you to be, you go against your creator and the natural flows of the universe that are working together for your good. The longer you stay in the comfort zone the harder it becomes to find your true identity, because life is ever-moving and ever-changing and the comfort zone is a very stagnate place.
The essence and spirit of freedom and truth exist beyond the realms of the comfort zone, so why shouldn't you? Everything you will ever need is inside of you already to enable you to step outside the comfort zone to fulfill the great destiny that awaits you. So I challenge you today to manifest a limitless state of mind, for the only boundaries that exist in life are the one's in which you create.

Post a CommentThankyou for giving us courage to step out and to be something other that what we are! great job here and thanks for all the encouragement!!!!
This article has come to my notice at just the right time! I resigned from my job of 4 years last week and I very much left my comfort zone by doing that! I followed my heart, which prompted me to pursue my dreams (of pursuing PhD) which I had failed to do in my earlier attempts. Very well written article - very inspiring.
Whoa Tye, you said an Ocean full there in one statement, "suppress possibilities and capabilites..."
That is Explicit and Piercing TRUTH. I Love it. Pour on sistah girl. Fear is the catalyst. God bless you witcha Bad self. Keep 'em coming, I am hooked.
Jesus for sure stepped out of his comfort zone. Now I am sort of an odd mix: Not necessarily convinced Jesus was the Son of God, but regardless, a Christian in admiring his teachings, especially the Sermon on the Mount and so on. If Jesus were to arrive in the United States and again step out of his comfort zone, I wonder how the citizenry would react. And Tye, I don't want to misquote, but to me you are saying: "If you have the courage to step out of the trappings of a perceived comfort zone, you may actually feel more comfortable with your true self." -- Mike
I love your statement, "Don't ever be afraid to turn your back on fear, for it is powerless with no attention". I have been in the comfort zone many times and most of the time the fear of leaving it is the biggest obstacle. Once you get past the fear and actually do whatever your heart so desires it isn't always as bad as you expected. Thanks for sharing it is well written.
