DON'T GET COMFORTABLE
When men begin to get to certain heights in their field of endeavour, they have the tendency to want to relent on their oars, they begin to think and see themselves as someone who has achieved enough not to push for more. Comfort is the enemy of growth. The moment you settle into ease, you stop pushing, striving, and evolving. You must refuse to stay still, you have to understand that stagnation is the beginning of decline.
Nothing that has impacted the world has been created from a place of comfort or satisfaction. Some of the greatest inventions and discoveries have been achieved because those people were not satisfied with the status quo. The Wright brothers thought men could travel faster without obstruction, and they made it possible; Martin Luther King Jr. Was no more comfortable with the treatment of people of colour, and he began the fight against such injustice.
No one ever changed the world by clinging to what was safe. They embraced challenges, uncertainty, and even failure because they knew that comfort zones are where dreams lay waste and die. Success is not a destination, it is a relentless pursuit of something better than the present. The moment you believe you have made it, you have already lost the edge that got you where you are. It is important to stay hungry, unsatisfied, and keep raising the bar, because the moment you get comfortable is the moment you begin to regress.
Comfort is a trap, discomfort is your compass, it points you towards growth, resilience, and untapped potentials. Don't stop the chase, don't relent on your effort to keep growing. There is no limit to growth. Always seek to grow, and never get comfortable with where you are. The best version of yourself lies just beyond the place you are afraid to go.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
