skinnybeanie SG I used to have a comfort zone where I thought I could not fail, same four walls and busy work were really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I had never done before, but I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor. I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much, I said I didn't care for things like diamonds, furs and such. I claimed to be so busy with things inside my zone, but deep inside I longed for something special of my own. I could not let life go by just watching others win, I held my breath and stepped outside and let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I had never felt before, I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door. If you are in a comfort zone afraid to venture out, remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.

InnoHippo SG sometimes .... it is good to rest a bit in the comfort zone ..... before charging out to the unknown
the Bear SG jobs are jobs... they're a means to an end... what you do when you're not at work.. ahh.. that's the life
InnoHippo SG true ..... but work consumes a huge part of your life .... 5 out of 7 days still a lot ....
skinnybeanie SG yup, can't step out of my comfort zone at work now - too much changes for me to handle. But i hope i'll have the guts to move out of it by end of next year. Really need some change in working environment to pep me up
skinnybeanie SG i share the same thinking too.. but it's getting pretty boring here.. think i'm underworked, and that's more tiring than being overworked. i prefer to step out of office knowing i've achieved something.
the Bear SG it consumes a large part of your life.. but what i found out is that you can be happy if you have a right attitude heck! where i work, the senior management is oppressive, useless and self-serving, the people we serve always have nothing good to say about us, we get abused by the public a lot.. yet, with a good attitude, one can find job satisfaction always look on the bright side of things comfort zone aside, i've been putting people out of their comfort zones at work.. by asking questions people surpress out of "fear " and coz "it isn't the way to do things ".. even tho' their conscience pricks at them, they'll keep quiet... comfort zones? we all define our own comfort zones but sometimes, jumping out of our comfort zones into piles of broken glass barefoot? never do things for the sake of doing them
