Dealing with our comfort zone

This title may sound intriguing but we all often deal with it – yes with our own comfort zones…
We live in our comfort zones; unmoved and unshaken; without accepting any change. The same newspaper, the same local train, the same job, the same evening coffee, the same green grocer and the same routine – but we are happy as we call ourselves stable and comfortable. We never feel to do away with the things that we repeatedly do. Accepting change in people, environment or even small gadgets that we use gets miserable.
What if the maid misses a day?
What if the boss calls for a presentation?
What if the cable connection is off tonight?
We expect things to go on as we the way we are habituated to them all the time. Not because they add any charm to our lives but they tend to get an integral part of our unchallenged lives. We never see ourselves comfortable in doing something that we haven’t done before. We expect a lot of things to happen but are never willing to disturb our smooth and easy going way of life. And where there is no comfort we fear to stride, getting captives to our own complacence.
We feel attached to things that we get acquainted with. Routine becomes a habit and Repetition becomes a culture. And we get so compassionate about it that everything then just revolves around a small boundary i.e. within our comfort zones!
There could be two important reasons to it – either we are restricting ourselves or we feel that there exist no alternative for us. However, we never do it intentionally, we get adapted to believing it. Gradually our ideology turns into invisible fences around us.
Now a question arises here – what is the harm in it?
Frankly, there is no harm in it. We can pull on the same way forever. Consistency is beautiful, but the fact of the life is that “change” is inevitable…
It is no harm; if you are not feeling stagnant
It is no harm; if you are not blaming yourselves for lack of choices.
It is no harm; if you are not filled with the fear of change
Yes, it is no harm; if you are still able to experience the meaning progress in life and are not living with compromises…
BUT, if none of that is true, then deal with your comfort zone…
If you want to experience fullness in life, challenge yourself.
If you want to experience limitless life, go beyond your fears…
There is no limit to human ability and adaptability. It’s all about the choices that we make.
If we want to lead an accomplished life, we must break free from our insecurities.
Break free from the fear of change…
Break free from the feeling of “can I do it”…
Break free from being comfortable…
We must grow…
            Try Harder…
                        Live Full…

Adapt to Change

Experience is the best teacher. We all learn through our experiences. We grow by experimenting with our ideas and exploring new insights from them. Whether it is about dealing with people, making a career move, or taking up an investment option, our assumptions are often challenged by the test of reality. People, who understand these nuances fast, learn from them and grow faster, whereas others, who struggle to get out of their prejudices, remain lost. It’s important to keep learning from our trials and picking up our lessons. Life is long enough to get another chance to do it better.  So, is true with businesses, it’s important to keep adapting to the changing environment. Variability can be managed if they are predictable. But, at times things go out of one’s horizon of thinking and clarity. When things go out of order, it’s important to be stable, introspect and take corrective actions. The more you accept reality the more you will widen your perception towards things. It is wis...

The secret of good communication!

Communication has a lot to do with our attitude. This thought struck me while pondering over the subject of effective communication with one of my teammates. It is essentially true that effective communication goes beyond the dynamics of language and talking well with people. The essence of it lies in getting, What, How, and When to convey a message right. And this reflects the maturity of a person. We often tend to focus only on factors like vocabulary, confidence, public speaking, and the accuracy of the language. But along with these factors, one also requires sensibility to analyze the situation and respond to it appropriately. Keeping the outcome in mind is the key to successful communication. It all goes well if we communicated in the best interest of the situation we get in. The leaders who drive work well are the ones who can communicate with others with empathy. Putting oneself in other's shoes is the best way to rationalize other's viewpoints. Somebody could be in pai...

Be Real

Image
  Gold does not worry about protecting its glitter, Shine is its inherent nature. Something that makes it unique & worthy. It knows that its strength lies in its purity.   Many who emulate it are well in its sight, But it is unshackled with their attempts to look bright. As no matter how much they pretend to shine, The truth prevails that their lustre is sublime.   Insecurity dwells in the pretext of a self-proclaimed glory, Fake propositions do not earn a success story. Genuineness is never in search of visibility, For confidence lies in being aware of one’s ability.   Needs and utilities will evolve with time, What’s significant today may tomorrow turn futile. What matters is how far have you been able to rise, Craving for adulations will only make you fragile.   What’s unreal will eventually fade away, And that what remains will find its way. More than your glitter, what’s important is your endeavour, Your str...
