“If we are growing we are always going to be outside our comfort zone”
— John C. Maxwell
Simplified Meaning:
When we are learning and improving in life, it often feels uncomfortable because we are doing new things. Imagine a child learning to ride a bike. At first, it’s hard, and they might fall a lot. This feels scary and tricky because it's new and they haven't done it before. However, as they keep trying, they get better and eventually can ride smoothly. This same idea applies to adults too. For instance, starting a new job can be intimidating because you need to learn new skills and meet new people. Over time, what once felt challenging starts to feel easier, and then you move on to the next new and challenging thing. To grow and become better, we need to step away from what’s comfortable, like when the child first decides to get on a bike. This can be applied to any part of life, such as learning a new language, moving to a new city, or even meeting new friends. Always remember, feeling a bit uncomfortable means you are growing and getting better.
