The Importance of Going Outside your Comfort Zone.

We have all experienced times where we are scared to do something new. We have had times where we are afraid to leave our comfort zone. It is important however, that we go out of our comfort zone.

It is important to get out of our comfort zone in order to grow as a person. Life is about experiencing everything that it has to offer. Whether it is applying for a job or talking to that girl you've had a crush on, you need to add those valuable life experiences to your "life resume." How do you go from not knowing something, to knowing something? We weren't born with every skill we have at this moment, we learn them. Athletes aren't born with a 95-mph fastball, a 4.3 40 time, or high QB IQ, they train.

A personal story, I applied for two on campus jobs in order to make some pocket cash and make some new friends. Now, I have some spending cash, I have valuable experience from those jobs, and I have made many friends with my coworkers. Can't get a job? Join a club or volunteering organization. There, you can meet new people and learn new things.

It is important to expand your comfort zone. The more things you are comfortable with, the more the world is available to you. How many times have you said, "I don't want to do that because I don't know how to." Once you give it a try, you can say, "I can help you, I've done this before."

I cannot stress enough that, you should try everything that life has to offer. You never know what you'll be good at.

"A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
