Staying in our comfort zone is merely settling for the person we are today. Unfortunately without continued growth,  the comfort zone lulls you into a the lie that everything is ok. Beware of your comfort zone. The danger of a comfort zone is that it isn't painful, and it might even feel good. Being in a comfort zone is often interpreted to mean it is a good place to be. I believe that a comfort zone is precisely the thing that holds people back from real growth, real accomplishment and what could be a potentially exciting and rewarding future.
