The killer called comfort: How to navigate unfamiliar circumstances
I hate to be comfortable, does that mean I like been uncomfortable?, yes but not literally, so the context I'm coming from is that of a growth mindset, I don't like to stay rooted at a place or a thing for too long more than necessary, I love travels, I love to go on to explore, to dare new things and experience new heights, this is because I believe life is to be lived foreward progressively, where everyday is a better version of the previous day, where things are not the same, where everything is always improved upon, I hate familiar patterns, repeated routine over time and again, I love innovations new ideas leveling up because life is constantly changing,
But here's a thing life is filled with so much uncertainties it often feels risky in taking the next unfamiliar move, that's why we often wants a situation where things are okay atleast have an edge or a clue before we love or initiate something, it's very difficult to launch out especially in an unfamiliar territory or circumstances hence the urge to stay rooted or fixed at a place, the issue with this kind of life is that everything feels okay and stable at the moment and that feeling can linger for so long you can forget where or what you were aiming for.
my pastor had to illustrate this to us one time, he said God's word tells us we're great, then there is an expected end, but between what the word had said and it's manifestation there is a trial period, to taste us or say molding process to make us fit, however some people can linger so long in the molding process till they normalize or come to accept whatever life had thrown at them, so they just adapt amd grow into that situation and stay comfortable, meanwhile the greater purpose of who they are suppose to be is far better than now, so what happened is that they just accepted the norm letting go of who they are suppose to be...

comfort is a killer, but it happens in a very subtle way you rarely notice, it will relegate you to the background and make you comfortable in that situation, gradually you can forget who you were meant to be, if the prodigal son didn't realise on time his real state and returned to the father he would have normalize his condition at the time ..
some times we called it moving on when what you expected isn't coming fort but in reality could we have put in a little effort and not buying into the the comfort of the moments would have made a difference....
we see this a lot people settling into a life that wasn't in the picture just because certain factors never played out and instead of forging ahead, fighting it, they choose to be comfortable instead and allow other dreams and aspiration die....
I want you to challenge the norm and by all means continue to evolve, do everything to add value to yourself, there is always a better version of you, there's always something better , there's more if only you let it.
