Studies indicate that if you are not breaking out beyond your comfort zone, your brain is not learning.
Forbes writes: A person’s “comfort zone” is called that for a reason: It’s comfortable and safe. However, your comfort zone can also be a place of stagnation — one that keeps you from seizing opportunities for growth, just because it involves something unfamiliar… Stepping out of our comfort zone can be difficult if we do not build a compelling reason to do so.
As Christians, breaking out of the comfort zone should be a lifestyle. Being a genuine Christian means breaking through the barriers of comfort and fear every day to make a difference in our world. It means we cannot allow ourselves to be stagnant, inactive and indifferent. The whole idea of Christianity in action, daily and positive action to make a difference in our world.
“A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what a ship is built for,” is an anonymous quote. Try a small risk. Move away from your habitual routines. Remember: Science says that stability and routine don’t teach you much.
I know about the comfort zone breakthroughs. I was born and raised by missionary parents in a country (Argentina) with years of dictatorship, far from my family and culture, in an unstable democracy, inflation hitting 50% annually, high corruption, and political unrest… everything highly unpredictable. But it is an amazing opportunity to shine a light. From a shy bookish childhood I learned to be a pastor’s wife, a Bible teacher, a writer, a leader in my community…and I am still learning every day to practice this verse: “Enlarge the place of your tent; stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your pegs. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left…” (Isaiah 54:2-3 NASB)
You need to grow to face your fears and grow in courage. And you will definitely learn a lot about yourself and rely even more on the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 43:19 (KJ21) says: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Even if you are already making a difference, why not make an even bigger difference?
New things are coming your way! There is something awesome that God has ahead for you. He will walk this path with you.
So… pack your bags and begin to break out of your comfort zone. An adventure is waiting for you!
