Leave Your Comfort Zone: How To Stop Settling For Mediocrity
Leave your comfort zone. That’s where the magic lies. Don’t waste your time settling for safe. Why not create a life that will blow your mind? Too many of us settle for a life of mediocrity, believing that this is the secret to happiness, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not.
Why do we torture ourselves? One word. Fear.
Change scares the shit out of people. We go to great lengths to avoid things that make us feel uncomfortable. It’s a lot easier to stay in one’s comfort zone and coast through life, never taking risks or trying something new, versus putting everything on the line, taking a leap of faith, and letting the Universe have our back. Are you panicking yet? If so, you aren’t alone.
But here’s the thing….change doesn’t happen while you’re lounging in your comfort zone. Living a life that isn’t a reflection of who we really are only sucks our energy and takes away our drive to succeed and live with purpose.
In the words of John Maxwell, “Everything worthwhile is uphill. You can’t experience a fully satisfying life by just coasting. Nothing that is good in life comes easy. And very little that comes easy is good.” Are you ready to learn how you can leave your comfort zone and stop settling for mediocrity?

You can always strive for me, no matter what is going on in your life, and you should make an effort to do this as much as possible. Don’t settle for safe. Get comfortable being uncomfortable, because oftentimes, change is the only constant that you can rely on in life.
Studies show that stepping out of your comfort zone leads to greatly increased productivity, creativity, and the ability to cope with unexpected changes and further your success. With findings like these, why wouldn’t you take the plunge?
You weren’t born to settle for anything less than an epic existence. You came into this world to shake shit up and live the life that you’ve always dreamed of.
Leave your comfort zone. Nothing good every grows there.
The tricky thing about a comfort zone is that it feels safe, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that stepping outside of it is the key to discovering your passion in life. Still not sold?
I want to share with you 3 things that you should never settle for:
1. A Job That You Hate
Do you wake up everyday excited to go to work? If not, it’s time to rethink your mission in life. A job shouldn’t merely be a means to an end. It should inspire, challenge, uplift and motivate you to become more. You want to add value to the world and find a purpose that allows you to contribute to the greater good.
Figure out what makes you come alive inside and then go do it. Now, I’m not suggesting that you just quit your job tomorrow without a plan. If your goal is to leave the job that you hate, figure out what makes you come alive inside, do your research, and take the steps necessary in order to make that dream a reality.
2. A Relationship That Makes You Cry
Many women don’t believe that they are worthy of a mind blowing relationship, or that amazing men exist in the world, so they give up and settle for who ever will have them. I’ve been there. If you are still looking, don’t give up.
There is also a fear that comes with being alone. If you are single for too long, people start to question what is wrong with you, so there’s an urge to find someone….anyone, in order, to fill that need of belonging. A recent set of studies found that people who were afraid of being single, were more likely to prioritize being in a relationship over the quality of that relationship or a potential partner.
Don’t settle for safe. I’m here to tell you that a warm body in your bed isn’t enough (even if it’s a ridiculously hot body). It gets old after awhile. Wait for the fairytale. It exists, but it only shows up when you believe that you are worthy of it, and when you stop wasting your time with people that don’t deserve you.
3. Friends That Drain Your Energy
We’ve all encountered those people that suck up all of our time and energy, leaving us feeling depleted and defeated. Friendships like these have no place in your life. Oftentimes we settle for sub-par friendships because we fall into a people pleaser trap.
We become so fearful of people not liking us or letting people down, that we diminish our needs. The quality of your life is determined, in part, by the standards that you set for yourself, as well as the standards of those whom you surround yourself with.
If you want to lead a high vibe life, you need to surround yourself with people who elevate you, and who have the same kick ass attitude about life as you do. Put yourself in environments where successful people hang out. If you are the smartest person in a room, you are in the wrong room! Leave your comfort zone.
If you allow negativity to seep into your life, you will be taken off course. The fact of the matter is that, who you surround yourself with, is who you become. Choose wisely.
Whatever you do, please leave your comfort zone.
If you have been, it’s time to shake yourself awake. You are deserving of the world. Safe is a boring, uninspiring road that leads nowhere. Life is too short to be basic. Extraordinary is the new black, and the fact of the matter is that the only way to fully embrace your awesomeness is to stop settling for less. Don’t settle for anything less than everything. Are you ready to leave your comfort zone?
