SUPER BLOG : Why playing it safe in life is dangerous!
Playing safe in life is dangerous because if we don’t try something we’ll never know. If you think about the most exciting times in your life they will have probably in fact definitely have come after feeling a little uncomfortable. Weddings, babies, promotions, starting a new business etc. In order for us to put ourselves in a position to become successful or to be happy or to fall in love we need to realise and accept that we have to put ourselves in an uncomfortable position first. It’s all about getting out of your comfort zone. The scary thing about getting out of our comfort zones is that we can’t predict the future, so we don’t know what’s going to happen. And it’s not always going to work out. It’s about weighing up the risks and the possible outcomes and that sometimes is done in our intuition. I believe that we can embrace that feeling of getting out of our comfort zone and look on it as excitement as opposed to fear. So often the situation that looks scary i.e. asking for that raise, when you actually do it isn’t half as scary as you thought it would be. The other great thing about stepping out of your comfort zone is once you’ve done it once you can do it again!
