The unknown can be scary, but learning to embrace it comes with major upsides.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it ever feel like you\u2019re waiting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for the fog to clear, so you can see what lies ahead. Waiting for the moment the pieces come together, culminating in the perfection you spent your entire life waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re still waiting, here\u2019s news: you\u2019re wasting your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting is dangerous. It gives the false illusion that if you\u2019re patient enough, time will reward you with everything you hoped for. It causes you to sit there and let things fall into place rather than doing something yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the greatest danger about waiting is that one day, you\u2019ll look back and realize that you spent all that precious time sitting there, waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were not meant to stay in one place. We were meant to go. To reach one place, admire the view, and then go to another place. And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Has the dust finally settled for you? Have you been looking at the same view for awhile now? If so, it\u2019s time to brush off the dust and keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are 8 subtle signs that you\u2019ve stayed in the comfort zone for too long:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. You don\u2019t remember the last time you felt \u201cthe burn\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A marathon runner once said, \u201cIf you\u2019re not feeling the burn in your lungs, you\u2019re not pushing yourself hard enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When people are new to exercising, they typically shy away from this feeling. They don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s safe, or that they can even push themselves to that level. Instead, they end up slightly fatigued, satisfied that they even put in the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe burn\u201d is a great analogy just about everywhere in life. When you work on something, do you end up a little tired, or does it feel like your mind has been stretched full with ideas? When you evaluate the relationships in your life, are some people around because it\u2019s convenient, or because they genuinely add to your quality of life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those \u201cburn\u201d moments bring discomfort and pain, but they also bring growth and strength. If you\u2019re not feeling the burn, you\u2019re not pushing the limits of your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. You have mastered all the components of your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you\u2019re an expert at everything you do now. From making coffee in the morning to getting work done at the office, you\u2019ve got it all covered. You\u2019re so good at everything you do, it\u2019s almost as if you can do it with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first glance, this sounds like a great thing. Your life runs like a tight ship, with every piece moving in clockwork fashion. You have everything you need. Yet why do you still feel a deep running sense of discontentment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s because you may have mastered everything in your life, but you also know there\u2019s still so much that you have no knowledge about. When you know how to do something perfectly, there\u2019s no challenge left. And when there\u2019s no challenge, there\u2019s no sense of reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. You can predict what will happen to you in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s true that no one can absolutely predict what the future will bring. There\u2019s no foretelling of an impending disaster, a windfall gain, or when someone will cross your path and lead you down a road you had never imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you can probably predict what your routine will look like tomorrow, and the day after, and so on. There\u2019s nothing on a daily basis that surprises you. All elements of uncertainty have been vanquished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, a routine is good in some ways. A routine increases your work productivity and keeps stress levels down. But being able to predict with near certainty what will happen to you also means there\u2019s no room for spontaneity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When there\u2019s little room for spontaneity, there\u2019s little room to encounter new opportunities. The most life-altering moments come from situations that are out of the ordinary, such as traveling somewhere new or learning a skill. If you\u2019re looking for those pivotal moments, you need to be prepared to change up your routine once in awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Instead of making things happen, you let things happen to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To what extent are you in control of your life? While you don\u2019t have control over what happens to you, you do have control over how you act. You can either make a decision or do nothing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you don\u2019t make decisions, you release the reins on what happens next. Eventually, someone else will come along and make those decisions for you. When that happens, you might not like what others choose for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think back to the last few changes that have happened to your life. It could be anything: a financial investment, moving somewhere, or enrolling in a course. How many of those changes were initiated by you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were you the one that said, \u201cI\u2019m going to do that, and this is how I\u2019m going to achieve it\u201d? Or was it someone else who brought it up and you went along because you had no idea what else to do? When you let things happen instead of making things happen, you lose sight of who you are and who you can become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Failure isn\u2019t in your vocabulary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Failure is commonly seen as a source of embarrassment. In fact, some people pride themselves on never failing. But what they don\u2019t realize is that never failing has its downsides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who don\u2019t fail don\u2019t know the value of humility, so they lack sympathy and understanding of others. They go on looking at the world from a top-down perspective. After a while, looking down at others becomes a very limited viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to realize that every success comes with a mountain of failures beneath it. Failure forces you to learn what works and what doesn\u2019t work, which helps you grow as a person. If you\u2019ve never failed, it means you never reached high enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. You have answers, but you don\u2019t have questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one knows everything. In fact, look at the experts in any given field. Every day, they\u2019re still figuring out the answers while discovering new things in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you think you know everything there is to know, you\u2019re wrong. Not only are you wrong, but your mindset is wrong. Chances are, if you think you know enough, it means that you don\u2019t know nearly enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pay attention to your thought process when you encounter an obstacle. Do you shirk away, or does your mind start to turn? Responding with \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d is really an excuse. A better approach is to ask, \u201cHow does this work?\u201d That small mindset switch makes all the difference between being complacent and being proactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading with questions rather than answers keeps you curious about the world. It forces you to reach out of your comfort zone and explore. After all, the universe is filled with infinite unknowns waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. You avoid any and all conflicts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s be honest: who enjoys starting conflicts? Unless something is really, really bothering someone, most people would prefer to go on with their usual routine. Life is hard enough without unnecessary hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in the vast majority of cases, that decision would be the right one. Conflicts, and by extension, changes of any sort cause serious abrasion between people. But when there\u2019s a decision being made that impacts months, years, or even decades of your life, it\u2019s time to speak up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, I know someone who has been in the same relationship for over 10 years, which sounds great on the surface. Together, they own a car and a home, and they\u2019ve been engaged for years. Yet she expresses uncertainty and is never quite ready to discuss the future. As you might guess, these decisions were initiated by her fianc\u00e9 and she went along with it \u2014 simply because it was easier than going against the grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deeper you settle into something, the harder it becomes to get out.Creating a smaller conflict to avoid long-term pain is better than prolonging an undesirable situation to avoid conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. If your world was turned upside down tomorrow, you have no idea how you would cope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s easy to coast by and let things be when someone else takes care of things in your life. Maybe you\u2019ve been at the same company under the same boss for over a decade. Maybe your spouse makes all the major decisions. Or, a family member manages all your finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you slowly sink into that steaming, warm bath of comfort and close your eyes. But what happens if the plug gets pulled? Would you have anything of your own? Or would you be helpless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relying on one thing, and one thing only, is risky. That one thing could be one source of income from a company, or one person to provide the support you need. Your entire world teeters on it like a crutch. Without it, everything comes crashing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent this, financial investors practice diversification to reduce exposure to any particular asset. You too can do the same. Multiply your revenue streams. Expand the people you know. Widen your knowledge. When you diversify, you feel less of an impact from any potential disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, the greatest comfort lies in knowing that you\u2019ve survived the discomfort and come out a stronger person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
