Expanding our comfort zones!
Often it is said that to achieve something, we need to come out of our comfort zone. For a lazy person who is sleeping, it is said that his destiny also sleeps with him. To achieve anything in life, one should have the courage to come out from their lazy habits, to come out from the cycle of procrastination, of being lazy, of pushing the work farther and delay it without any reason till it is deadline and the work or exam is just about to happen!
There is a popular saying that success and our dreams always lie in a place that is beyond our comfort zone and if we want to make our dreams a reality, we have to come out of our comfort zones and do hard work and make it consistent as well as be honest with it.
However, not all those do hard work are achieving success or are sitting at the top of their leagues and dreams, since this world is not binary and not every action gets a desired reaction or outcomes. This world has different rules and ways and not hard work but hard work in smart ways is what makes all the difference!
Hence, there is a secret to reach our dreams without just jumping out from our comfort zones, and that is to expand our comfort zones itself!
When we expand our comfort zones, it doesn't matter how much far away our dreams and success is far from us, our infinite ability to self-expand eventually gulps the success down into our hands! But this life hack does require a little amount of sacrifices and consistency!
For example, let's say a high-school student has to travel a very long distance to study to get a better future for himself, and many people will give them philosophical statements like, do hard work now and enjoy later in future, or your future will be so bright, make your present do the work etc, etc, and people will try to convince him to travel such long distances walking/bicycling for to study in the school. This is him getting out of his comfort zone.
But, what expanding his comfort zone will simply is so smart and cool, all that the student has to do is to take out some of his spare time off and give tuitions to some primary or elementary school students and use the money so earnt to buy train tickets for his travel to his high-school, making not only his life easier but also much much more efficient!
We can always use whatever resources we have for these type of life hacks, we can always use spare cash to save time, we can take help from others by leveraging our good relationships with them, we can always have a backup plan and we can always be unapologetically self-centered and care for ourselves and love ourselves and spend on ourselves without feeling guilt to make our life oh so easy!
Expanding our comfort zones hence makes it very easy to slowly and gradually achieve our dreams and success and milestones that others think and try to only achieve by working tremendous hard work and putting efforts when they too can save their time and efforts by spending whatever they have on themselves instead of saving much for future, because after all, who except God knows the future?!
Cheers!
