Comfort in the uncomfortable

you must have heard of many people and motivators asking you to get out of your comfort zone, to excel in life. yeah u got it right ,that is  my  random thought of today.  No two human can have the same level of comfort in everything. I am just going to introspect and feel how I broke my comfort zones in different aspects of life.

I am a darling student of life(don’t even think of  school days here).I wasn’t a open personality. I evolved differently. I broke the uncomfortable zones to bring comfort in life. Being a home maker with a husband who earns well and two children might have looked like a fairytale for many. No complaints, life was  good in normal terms, but not comfortable. Not comfortable for the soul that wanted to seek new horizons, not comfortable for the person who wanted to revolutionize the world, not comfortable for the girl who had BIG BIG dreams, not comfortable for a mother who hated studying and had to teach, not comfortable for a foodie who liked to eat but not cook. So what did I do to break the uncomfortable zone??

I started working, just to get comfortable. my first pay was the same as the money I was paying my maid. I was a play school teacher. The job started filling my voids. I had something to look forward to each day and the best part of working is to spend time on Yourself to get ready to work(yes I mean the dressing up and the make up)I send my gratitude to the universe every single day I dress up to work(that’s how weird I can be)

For a person who hate routine , school became uncomfortable and I started of my business with Tupperware as a Manager. This is one place that I was able to excel with all my weirdness and dreams. only after Tupperware I actually started getting comfortable inside out. So  breaking the comfort zone started once I established myself with Tupperware.

Thanks to Poonam ,my friend and my mentor. She had all the answers for my uncomfortable but seemingly comfortable life. I set up a cook at home, outsourced teaching to tuition classes and darling Husband, started changing women lives around in smaller ways that I can with Tupperware. I made money, yes I did. I did all that I felt comfortable doing, I made myself happy, made friends ,took decisions on my own and money followed.

Do I have anything that is beyond my comfort zone???? dancing was once a challenge, I hope its not now. Seriously I cant think of any ,now that I have realized to live a happy life ,I need to keep myself happy and that is the first step to a happy family and a happy nation and a happy world. Being you is very important. Ok just looked at my title  ‘comfort in the uncomfortable’, I will never take comfort in the uncomfortable and I am limitless so are u.
