To leave the comfort zone

Why do we have to suffer when we have the choice not to?
Why do we have to take the bumpy roads and endure more risks when we can take the highway?
Why, instead of taking the shortcuts, we take the longest possible way from A to B?
Why do we not listen to people close to me and always make the decisions that make me comfortable, hence make my life more complicated. You get the point.


Life is a path traced by the succession of decisions that we make out of a myriad of choices. At each crossroads, we have to make a choice. I usually make the wrong decisions, maybe most of the time based on the current moment, rather in an emotional than a rational way. I might have to learn long-term thinking, to have a vision behind the decisions I make and forget about my comfort zone that I tend to hold on to like grim death.


Each wrong decision is followed by a chain of actions aimed at rectifying that original one, wasting time, energy, motivation and losing perspective on what I was aiming for in the first place.



Lessons of the day (or rather the year, based on the frequency of my posts lately): Act rational. Always have a vision

I think that you have no problem leaving your comfort zone, you have been living in bx alone enduring a sub-optimal paid job for 12 months! you think rationally, not emotionally. you have never thrown the towel and decided to go back to your comfort zone! and that my friend deserves respect! I think the lesson is: Act less rationally and more emotionally and you will be happier!
