The Comfort Zone

Ever so often in life, we get so comfortable with something or someone that we forget what it is like to do new things or be with new people...ever had that feeling?
No?
Well..I have. It can be the most satisfying feeling ever. Nothing to care about, nothing to be concerned about. You have your bed, your blanket and your cute little pug always waiting for you when you return home from work. All you have to do is kick off your shoes, change into your ever-so-comfortable pyjamas, and get into bed. You feel all the fatigue and frustrations draining out of your body as you sink deeper and deeper into your ever-so-comfortable (and not to forget expensive) mattress. Then all you do is lie there reading all evening until you finally have to get up to answer nature's call. And then perhaps a little hunger kicks in, you get yourself some snacks to nibble upon and aloha! you are back in your very own ever-so-comfortable bed with your ever-so-comfortable and expensive mattress under your ever-so-comfortable and warm blanket. That is what we do day in and day out on every working day of the week. Come the weekend and we realise we have loads of work to do around the house, cleaning, dishwashing, laundry etc. etc. and by the time you are done with all of them, ahh there is the monday again. And then again we goto work, get back and return to our ever-so-comfortable life.
In this hectic life, where do we find the time to do things that we are good at?
Things that make us happy? Things that bring out our talents?
We get so comfortable with our lives that we forget what it is like to take risks. We stop socialising, stop doing new things and stop taking risks. Life goes on with its rhythmic monotony and it's droning background music. We really have to wake up and smell the flowers. Start doing new things, meeting new people.
Throw out the old comfortable bed, get yourself a new perspective. Life isn't over, it's never too late to start over. Take risks, let your hair down and shoot for the stars.


Ok I'm done...now back to bed...:)
