My Favorite Best Comfort Zone Quotes That Will Help You Go Out Of It!

Today, I did something that’s way beyond my comfort zone. It was awkward at the beginning, though. So, I needed to remind myself that nothing would happen if I didn’t try! Some comfort zone quotes are better than others when helping you take that final step into action. But before we jump in the quoting festa, let’s agree on what these pink comfy sofas are in psychological terms. A comfort zone is a mental state where someone feels in control. You have routines, follow some patterns, and minimize risk. In this zone, you know what to expect, but it rarely brings you sparks and glitter.

Having a comfort zone isn’t bad. In fact, these spaces help us manage our fears and anxieties. But, if we stay on the sofa for too long, we stop living! When these sofas are too small and restrictive, they prevent us from enjoying new opportunities and developing new skills.

The Risks of  Becoming a Comfort Zone Sloth

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
— Neale Donald Walsch.

For starters, you can end up feeling stagnant. When there’s nothing new, no opportunities for growth, and nothing surprising, you become bored and dissatisfied.

You miss opportunities because you might even feel too scared to take that step forward. Let’s say that you want to create a platform like this one and sell courses and goodies online but are too scared about showing your real self because you fear trolls. You’ll miss the sun if you just look at the clouds!

This means that staying in your comfort zone will also limit your personal growth. Many quotes adamantly state this.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”
— Unknown

So, what happens if you don’t challenge yourself once in a while? Your resilience will suffer. Stepping out of your comfort zone does mean that you might have some discomfort. But it also means that you have a great opportunity to build resilience if something goes sideways.

And finally, fearing failure too much means that there can’t be any action at all. It’ll be harder and harder to take risks if you just fear failure. But, remember: failure doesn’t really exist. There’s only learning or winning.

Leave the Sofa With These Quotes

“Comfort is the enemy of achievement.”
— Farrah Gray

Today, I achieved something by stepping out of my comfort zone. To remind myself that I need to do that again and again, I revisit this quote again and again. If you want to be an entrepreneur like me, you must be uncomfortable often!

“Sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zones. We have to break the rules. And we have to discover the sensuality of fear. We need to face it, challenge it, dance with it.”
— Kyra Davis

This doesn’t mean you’ll go bungee jumping now. Our fears can be as simple as taking professional pictures! The key is to challenge them with a good dose of humor and be nice to ourselves. If you need help with that, you can take my free course, Get Out of Your Comfort Zone and Conquer the World.

“Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined. Comfort kills!”

How many ideas have died while you were chilling on that comfy powder pink sofa of yours? How many projects haven’t seen the light because you were too scared of other people’s opinions? Isn’t it time to bring some to life?

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
