Beware, you are now entering... THE COMFORT-ZONE!

It's a terrible thing.... Being trapped in the Comfort-Zone..
The Comfort-Zone; a place inhabited by the majority of human-kind.
This Comfort-Zone is not a healthy place to be, ever, under any circumstance.
People become comfortable with their flaws, with their sinful nature.

It makes sense though, right? Like the saying goes, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".
I'd say you can, but it'll be a fight, brutal, painful, confusing, awkward, and anything but comfortable.

It's easy to just go along with yourself the way you are...
I'll just drink like everyone else... Because I'm comfortable with it...
I'll just manipulate that person because that's what I do... And I'm comfortable with it...
I'll just be lazy and ignore the issues of the world... Because I'm comfortable with it...
I'll just pretend that I don't need to change who I am... Because it would be too uncomfortable to try and change....
You bet it's uncomfortable.
But it's also worth it.

Sit and rot in the Comfort-Zone, wanting to change but not wanting to go through the awkward new situations.... Not wanting to face the reactions of the people who will witness you changing... Not wanting to fail in your quest of self-improvement...

Wanting to escape, wanting to be better... To be honest, trustworthy, mature, drug/alcohol free, a role model, someone worth being!

Getting out of the Comfort-Zone doesn't mean beating yourself up over your mistakes and personality issues, though.. It's about getting past those flaws, not letting them get the best of you, realizing the negative, harmful impact they have on you and those around you, and working hard to overcome them.
You will never run out of ways to change though... It starts by changing habits, changing lifestyles, changing relationships, changing people around you, changing the world... Into something with improvement, something of hope.

Get out of the Comfort-Zone... Do something about your bad habits. Don't just expect yourself to self-correct without taking action.

Get out of the Comfort-Zone, before it becomes too comfortable.
