Our
daily struggles to make a life entails a lot of risks. There are times that we
do not have to play safe to explore new horizons and continue to grow. Indeed,
when we go out of our comfort zones, we proceed to the learning and growth
zones.
But,
what if we commit mistakes along the way? This question is often asked by
people who tend to stay in their comfort zones and do not dwell on the FEAR
ZONE,
It
takes courage to step from the comfort zone into the fear zone. Without a clear
roadmap, there’s no way to build on previous experiences. This can be anxiety
provoking. Yet persevere long enough, and you enter the learning zone, where
you gain new skills and deal with challenges resourcefully (Page, 2020).
Yet,
there are those who linger in their comfort zones and resist on the possibility
of growing and learning because of FEAR – fear of committing mistakes, fear of
not being accepted, and many things more.
Life
isn’t exactly a predictable affair; perhaps then, people shouldn’t be either.
Sooner or later, everyone faces adversity. A habit of expanding our comfort
zone equips people to handle change and ambiguity with more poise, leading to
resilience.
In
researched-based theories, a lot of challenges lead to coping strategies. Look
at what happened during the pandemic, the education sector now realized the
functionality of hybrid lessons that even universities are resorting to online
platforms of learning. This is just an example of a coping strategy developed
during a difficult situation.
Still,
there are those who justify their actions. They insist that they are NOT
interested to learn. Where in fact, they are simply afraid to commit mistakes.
