Many of us are so afraid of failure that we would rather do nothing than take a shot at our dreams. But what if I told you that everything you ever wanted is one step outside your comfort zone. Of course the comfort zone isn’t even real. It’s a mental concept, a boundary that you have created and it exists only in your own mind. But the comfort zone feels safe, doesn’t it? We get a sense of familiarity, security and certainty. When we step outside of this we take a risk and expose our self to the possibility of stress and anxiety as we have absolutely no idea what will happen and how we will react.

Those who are willing to take risks and step outside their comfort zone will be those who reap the biggest rewards. Being slightly uncomfortable can push us to achieve goals we never thought we could. Taking risks is what helps us grow.
