one, two....jab...skipping, jogging and continuous exercise beyond the ordinary limit is the beginning of success for a boxer. Day and night guarding a coach's punch, continuous workout and tireless training are what makes a champion in boxing.
A lot of things prevail over us and make us fail, one of it is staying and remaining at the area of our comfort zone. We only want to do the things we feel we can, we do not want to stretch our abilities, we always want someone to do it for us.
We believe that there is a perfect time to do something; at thirty, we feel the perfect time to have a car is when we are forty, when we are in school, we feel the perfect time to plan for our future is when we graduate. Who says we cannot start now, who says we cannot start taking charge of our lives, there is no perfect time to succeed, the perfect time is now.
The moment you begin to take life seriously, investing time and energy into growing, you begin to see the difference, it might be painful, difficult, with so many wares and tears, very uncomfortable but definitely, you will succeed.
You need to to be comfortable with your present self, you need to enlarge yourself, you are bigger and better than now, you have more to offer. you are not a monkey or a ruler that cannot move beyond its comfort zone.
You are a Homo sapien(an intelligent man) so you have the power to transform your life, it only depends on you. So many people will leave this world without any trace that they ever existed.
Do you want to leave this world without a trace of existence? if you continue to remain in your comfort zone, you will add nothing to the universe because you will have made no impact because you enjoyed the company of your comfort zone.
You are poor or average, everything about you is average, you went to an average school, had an average result, eat foods that belong to the average class. Everything about you remains at an average level because you have decided to live your life as an average man.
You are an average man because you have not taken charge of the present situation that will make you go above the average level. If you want to leave the average position that you are presently into an excellent one, then you need to start taking charge.
Like my favourite poem, I bargained with life for a penny
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why you must bear the task.I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.” -Jessie B. Rittenhouse
Like I always say, "I will rather die while trying to make a difference, That to die not giving it a try.
DO NOT FORGET STEEMIT IN NIGERIA (SIN). I WILL BE THERE AND I WANT YOU TO BE THERE...

Fear of failure is one of the greatest fears stopping many people from achieving their dreams. Taking risk shows confidence and helps you stand out when others withdraw to their comfort zone, risk takers stands out and thus easily become leaders. Thanks for sharing this @Gbenga
That's true... I hate people who can not take risk (i mean reasonable risks). Not even taking risk is risky
Nice one boss.....staying much at your comfort zone is really at times a great obstacle to achieving greatness in life. It will be so hard to leave such place simply because you think there will never be a beter place but alas thats just procrastination at work, there are better places just that the road might be rough now but with little more perseverance and little more hardworking you will eventually get there.
Even the bible comfirm it that....the glory of your latter will surpass that of the former, so why not make the move now.
My principal in secondary school will say "work now and play later, play now and work later"
I prefer the "work now and play later" boss because working late at night is not even an option. Night is meant for resting.
We always feel that there is a perfect time and we keep procrastinating killing time and it has affected a lot of people. Like u mentioned, the perfect time to start anything is now
Procrastination is a big disease that kills carriers an plan, There is no perfect time, the time is now....
There are of course that we are unable to correct, but basically everything depends on our potential.
I agree with that
I love this. Well written bro.

The truth is; we've been groomed to stick to our comfort zones. The time is now. I think you should do videos too.

Thanks a lot sir, I also see you at the top too. I'm glad you could read my blog.
Thanks for the words sir.
My pleasure, I'm glad you read it
Procrastination has kept a lot of people far below where they are supposed to be in life. You just inspired me, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone today.
You said it all and we are taking them to the bank! Now it's individual thing as everything is in relative to someone's life pursuit and definition of fulfillment in life.
Nice post @gbenga. Upped!
Now this is the problem. We want to make a move to success, and hard decision to growth, the monster destroyer of the mind comes and ask. Who are you to take the decision?
Who are you to make a difference?
Then and there you start finding a thousand reasons not to take the step, and when it is found, you justify every of the reasons.
But the real question should be; who are you not to take the step and make the difference. Until we understand and answer this question, we will never be able to leave our comfort zone.
Who doesnt want to be comfortable?
These words are easily said than done.
Getting of your comfort zone i would say its not a one day task, i think an individual has to map of his strategy first(like a time table) and alocate little time to his/her comfort zone maintain it, until new tasks overrides the spare time for his/her comfort zone. :-)
Nice piece👍
Focus.
Don't settle.
Don't waste time.
Don't be distracted.
You have goals to accomplish!!!
THANK YOU @gbenga for this. 😀
You absolutely correct bro. Like it's been always said; "it is better to fail at doing something than to succeed at doing nothing"
Nice piece bro
No one grows in his comfort zone.
We need to go out, to discover the unknown, to take a risk face our fears.
That will build our character.
Thanks a lot @modernpastor. I think i like your name

To break out from being a continual mediocre, we have to break free from our comfort zone.
I love this piece. Perfect!
This reminds me so much of the book "An enemy called average" by John Mason. And has inspired a lot more within me. Thanks for this.
