Who doesn’t want comfort in their life? We live and work why because we and our family get comfort in their life. Sadly comfort zone always means negative things.
There are many people to talk about comfort zone in seminars how you should come out from your comfort zone or post on LinkedIn, Facebook or sent via Whatsapp message to friends. There are many quotes and articles also and many motivational books also state about comfort zone. Here are few examples;

Above quotes are stating that how comfort zone is enemy of our life and success.
People do assume wrong about this comfort zone and take a wrong choice. There are 2 types of comfort zones one is the positive comfort zone and another is the negative comfort zone. The positive comfort zone is where you grow and become successful and in the negative comfort zone you hold yourself back and live a mediocre life and miss the opportunity to become successful.
There is nothing wrong if you stay in your comfort zone as long as it is positive for you.
Here are few examples.
Look at Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli cricket is their passion plus comfort zone. It has positive impact on their life and they are famous today. Not only successful but also idol for many people.

Just like the positive impact of comfort zone, there is also the negative impact of comfort zone. Bollywood singer is trying to be an actor but badly fail. They are famous in their singing comfort zone but rejected when they came out of from their comfort zone and try to acting.
Now see common people example. As a working people every day go to office do work, wait for office timing to end and come home. Eat and sleep. This is comfort zone if anyone says to us that does different things example change your daily routine. Walk from the different street but no we are lazy to do that. Even if we are not happy with our job but still continue because of comfort zone we are comfortable with our friend circle & enemy circle too and scare that new job will be challenging and we are in comfort level in current work though we hate that work but due to comfort zone that become our habit which we don’t want to leave. Can’t live with it but can’t leave it too. They know they are not growing they hate their work no financial growth and no career growth still don’t want to leave that job because of their comfort zone
You will experience many incidences like this in your day to day life; with yourself or your friends, your family or at your office.
As Albert Einstein said “a person is mad when he does the same work every day … but still expects the result to be different.”
Above quote is simply state thing about comfort zone. Why some people are successful in their comfort zone but at the same time some people fail to become a successful answer is above quote.
Some people are successful in their comfort zone because they are in their comfort but they do things differently and try new thing staying within their comfort zone. But many people do things same way and expect different result. Mukesh Ambani do business but still he tried new things current example is Jio. As office example, you go to the office every day and do same work and expect to grow in your career life and financial life which is also like a rat race where you are running but at the same place.
As beautifully said by Shah Rukh Khan’s character Jehangir Khan in Dear Zindagi movie “Sometimes we choose a difficult path only because we feel that to attain important things we need to choose a difficult path we think that it’s important to punish ourselves but why can’t we choose a simple path what’s wrong with that especially when we are not ready to face that difficult path”
Out of comfort zone always doesn’t mean that you will be successful same as in comfort zone always doesn’t mean that you will be a failure.
So whenever you try to think that you should come out from your comfort zone first think that you are failing because of comfort zone or you are doing right things the wrong way.
Coming out of comfort zone is always doesn’t mean that you should leave what you are doing and change your route but do improvise in your work your way to a different and positive result.
