The Comfort Zone

There are many Wikis that define the Comfort Zone. But i have to give you my perception on it. I would define it as a place or mental state where one is comfortable with a particular environment but not really fully satisfied with it, its a cousin of the lackadaisic or lazy, its stubborn and also forgetful.

Its a Zone that should be avoided but at the same time embraced, let me explain:

There is a saying in my culture "Too much of one thing is good for nothing". Too much comfort can spur laziness or lack of production, reversing a productive mind set as well as lifestyle, it can also spur a lack of appreciation therefore explaining the terms "forgetful".

Examples of these are:

1) An Overpaid Salary
2) Someone handling all your bills
3) Being Dependent on others for your responsibilities
4) Having someone to always take you out of trouble when it finds you
5) Having someone to speak out for you
6) Having Someone to shop for you
7) Having Someone to do laundry for you all the time

You get it? A lifestyle such as this can be destructive to the one in this Zone. But there is a twist to all of this. A little comfort mentioned in the above can also be healthy as most people would prefer to have Too much comfort than too little.

Its good to be well paid, its good to have people in your corner to show you love and support especially in times of need. But when you are not in the C-Zone, you are on the edge, more self reliant, more productive; because you will face the consequences of not being productive, you are fearless because you have to fight your own battles. You are less forgetful and more GRATEFUL!

more will be added to this article, as it is an open topic for discussion.
