Do we really experience comfort at all? This question is born out of the fact that as a Nigerian write from the day that we were born except from the fact that as chilled drain we live quietly without any stress but right after that no matter the season we find ourselves i do not believe that we experienced total comfort in everything we do. While this is a fact, they are also comes the time in life when we sit down and have a deep thought that this comfort we are experiencing can be a cage as it can be limiting in different scenarios.
For me personally, there are different types of comfort depending on where you find yourself. It could be comfort with your family, friends, colleagues or even strangers. Comfort makes you feel safe in your environment but it can make you lose opportunities and growth in career and self worth.
For instance, with the current economic situation in the country many youths have resulted in finding comfort with their families after graduating from school because they cannot afford the expensive lifestyle before getting a job. This situation has limited people by bringing a kind of comfort that makes them slow and attain setbacks in achieving their goals. In some Nigerian homes, you could get swamped with the comfort of not having to pay bills, buy or cook food, worry about water and light bills etc.
Leaving Comfort Behind does not mean suffering but rather a means to grow and take on responsibilities that will help to build and shape your mind for the future. Living comfort behind is by taking up courage to do things differently, it's a means to step out of that comfort zone and be ready to face the world for personal transformation.
Based on my experience, leaving my community, my family friends and colleagues to start a new job in a community where I am a total stranger is a big step in leaving my comfort zone. Rather than see it as a step into attaining risk and difficulties, I see it as a means to start afresh and live life in a way that pleases me and that would help me grow into the kind of person I want to be. It's about making new friends, goals, lifestyle and so on.
