if you overlook this, you'll stunt your growth

Did you know that the comfort zone stunts growth?

I stayed in it so long that I never reached my max height.

I only grew to 5’5.

Okay, I’m done with the lame jokes lol.

But on the real, if you wanna stunt your growth, just stay in the comfort zone.

Don’t do new things.

Don’t do things that “scare” you.

Don’t switch up your routine.

Don’t do anything that causes you to go outside of what you’re used to.

I lived that way for years.

At one of the lowest points in my life, my routine was this:

1. Go to work

2. Get off work and take a nap

3. Wake up and play video games late into the night.

4. Go to sleep

5. Rinse and repeat

No joke, that was it.

Where’s the growth in that?

There is none.

I was going through the motions.

Fast forward to 2022 and that’s when I got serious about entrepreneurship.

And earlier last year on August 11, I started writing online.

Something that terrified me when I first started writing was posting content online.

I was afraid of what people were going to say.

I could’ve stayed in the comfort zone and kept living my normal life.

But I didn’t let that stop me.

And it doesn’t need to stop you either.

It’s scary going into the unknown.

But that’s where the real growth is.

So, that’s just my reminder for ya’ll today.

Don’t let the comfort zone stunt your growth.

Thanks for reading and have a blessed rest of your day.
