It's the reason we get up early in the morning and sleep late at night, all for a happy comfortable life. It's not easy no doubt, especially for those who have to strive for themselves without any back up whatsoever. Everyone wants comfort, I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't want to live a better and more comfortable life, however its often a journey, we have got to pursue after the comfort we so desire, and bet you, the chase is not a comfortable one. Everything around life is made in such a manner as to show everyone the need to go out of your will in order to get your will, the need to move out of your comfort zone in order to get the comfort we so desire.
A farmer knows he needs crops to sell and eat too, and so he leaves his comfortable bed at that time when the sleep is just hitting us hard, and set out to start the planting process. Was it comfortable for him to do? Definitely not, it does get easier overtime but yet it'll never get comfortable, but at the end of the planting season, when the harvest are ripe and he has sold off to get money, then he would be happy for the actions he took, a smart choice to get up and work, leaving comfort to get a better comfort.
The more we aim the more discomfort we should be willing to take, don't ever think its easy for the wealthy, they have money but as long as they still need more money, they must be willing to make the right moves to get what they desire. Well anyone can decide to relax and just keep wishing for comfort, thereby being comfortable while seeking comfort, these approaching is often unrewarding.
We can't push effectively when we are still happy and comfortable with our Current state, no rather, that hunger and thirst is a necessary force, it keeps us on alert, knowing fully well we have somewhere to go as well as somethings we are aiming for. Its a deliberate action to really wanting to change somethings that need changes. Going out of your way because of something or someone, is a better way to drag in that someone or something to yourself.
What changes do you crave for and yet you still treat comfortably? Many would feel it's only when you're home and Lazy, then you're not leaving the comfort zone. However its way more than that, there are a number of things in our life's and we just want to change it, maybe its a skill you wish you had, but you don't, maybe its a possession, whatever it is, the moment we get uncomfortable, we are just beginning the journey for a change, a hot pursuit for a better comfort.
Everything can be taughts, but its not comfortable to learn. Remember how bad you felt some mornings when you were forced to get ready for schools but deep down what you really want is sleep, eat and play games. Basically every skill has a time set aside for learning "apprenticeship" this phase cannot be discarded, its as important as the actual work itself, its not expected to be a pleasant experience, we work now so we can be well equipped to get a better and comfortable life.
Show me something amazing that was gotten from a place of comfort, because I don't think I know any, all I can think of took people going out of their way and comfort to make it possible. For instances, those sky scrappers, the amazing tall buildings wasn't just made because they wished it so, it took some workers into first learning how to do it, and finally going to the fields with irons, cranes and more hands to make it the finished work we amazed to see.
Ever seen a throwback photo of a body builder, you'll be astonished, none of them were created fully body built, they had to hit the gym, watch their diet, time after time and then the results showed thereafter. Also take a look at yourself, at where you've come, did you get it by sleeping all day, your unique knowledge acquired today was from your discomfort of going to study, and paying your intentional attention so you can really be better.
Every great and mighty person or thing surely has a beginning, and that beginning wasn't while we were still too relaxed, then we achieved nothing, it all began when we got uncomfortable at the present, when we started leaving our comfort zone to chase the comfort ahead. Forgo the comfort now for a better comfort tomorrow.
Thanks for Reading!
The irony is that we sacrifice comfort in order to live a comfortable life.
