"Who you'll be next year... That's unknown. Shock yourself out of your comfort zone. Because that's going to lead you to the next version of yourself." — Jad Abumrad.

Pushing ourselves out of our zones of comfort is probably one of the most difficult tasks that life throws at us as people. We become so set in our ways and fall into this area of "comfort" so quickly, and forget so easily how that will not get us very far in this life at all.

Personally, I have come to the realization as I've continued to get older, that I am one of the many — in fact, most who fall under the category of liking my own comfort zone. However; although I am completely self- aware that this is personally a place I can sometimes get stuck in, I make sure I never stay there.

Since I have become aware of how much I like my comfort zone, I make SURE I don't get too comfortable. If I ever feel myself becoming too used to a specific pattern with something, as odd as it may sound, I immediately know that I need to make a change, do more, try something new, etc. A comfort zone is ultimately just... boring. Each day of life should bring new challenges and test our abilities as people; but also bring us joy and new experiences. Life really is just a bunch of memories and surrounding yourself with people who make you feel.

Ultimately, each day is a completely brand new one and we have complete power over how we wish to live our lives. We wake up in the morning, and nobody really cares more about how our day goes than us ourselves.. so why not push yourself to do big things throughout the time you have in this life? We all truly have the ability to achieve greatness, but our drive and how much we are able to push our own selves will determine where we go,
