"Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone".
When the frog is at the bottom of the well, it is happy and proud because it can "rule" the whole well;When it crawled out of the cave and found the vastness of heaven and earth and the insignificance of itself, its heart was confused, and it began to fear the destruction of natural enemies. In fact, it's not just frogs, why aren't we humans?Many times, we are also a "frog at the bottom of the well", living comfortably in our own familiar environment, self-satisfied, once we jump out of our comfort zone and enter an unfamiliar environment, we will feel confused and uneasy. So, we should step out of our comfort zone and look at the outside world.
"Comfort zone" is an internet buzzword that describes all people living in an invisible circle, having their own familiar environment in the circle, getting along with people they know, doing what they can do, and feeling at ease. However, if you stay in your comfort zone for a long time, you will become content with the status quo, do not want to make progress, and eventually become a "frog at the bottom of the well".
The famous writer Haruki Murakami once said, "When you go through a storm, you are no longer the same person." This sentence tells us that only by experiencing the baptism of wind and rain can we grow into a better version of ourselves. If we stay in our comfort zone and are not willing to take on new challenges, then we will never be able to improve. On the contrary, if we dare to step out of our comfort zone, try new things, and take on new challenges, then we may discover new opportunities and achieve our dreams.
It takes courage and determination to step out of your comfort zone. Many people like to stay in their comfort zone because there is no stress, no risk, just a familiar environment and familiar people. But if we want to grow, if we want to progress, we have to have the courage and determination to step out of our comfort zone. It's like a frog that has to have the courage to jump out of the well if it wants to see the wider sky.
Stepping out of your comfort zone also requires action and persistence. Once we have courage and determination, we need to take action, try new things, and take on new challenges. In this process, we may encounter a lot of difficulties and setbacks, but we cannot give up, we must persevere until we achieve our goals.
Thara Westover, the author of "You Should Be Like a Bird Flying to Your Mountain", never went to school before the age of 17, but was admitted to Brigham Young University through self-study, and received a master's degree and doctorate from Cambridge University. She proved with her actions that as long as she has courage and determination, she can step out of her comfort zone and realize her dreams.
In short, while the comfort zone is comfortable, it is also a trap that will make us content with the status quo and not want to forge ahead. Only by stepping out of our comfort zone can we see the wider world and realize our dreams.
