Growth Means Leaving the Familiar
Growth is walking away from what you are used to in order to get what you deserve.
Sometimes you need to leave your comfort zone and try something new.
I have too often held on to things out of convenience even when they no longer did me good: a well-paid, undemanding job that did not fulfil me, or longstanding friendships with trust but increasingly different views and attitudes.
I ask myself: is my preference for comfort preventing growth? Would I be happy to be in exactly the same place five years from now?
