Living in our Comfort Zone

As children we love nothing more than pushing up through our comfort zone, we know we are not allowed to do things because our parents will tell us off or worse punish us. However we do it any way, pushing, pushing and bursting through our comfort zone.

Unfortunately for most of us as we get older our parents, teachers and other authorities begin to win out, along with common sense, our own personal perceptions of fear, along with peer pressure, siblings, and our social environment.

The rules, regulations and social conventions that we learn to conform to inside our comfort zone, keep us safe and secure. However society tends to push out little social machines that remain confined within the work ethics of our social environment. Which being all very well for the society our grandparents lived in, doesn’t really bold well for the new social and information age that we live in now.

The very creative and social conventions that we need to learn to market well in the post-industrial information age lie just outside of most peoples comfort zone. This is why we need to take daily steps to learn new methods and things to do to push us out of our comfort zone to be successful in a new post modern age. Which means stepping out of the norm and ignoring the vibes from people in and social environment that want us to remain inside the box with them.

To be successful in our new economy and information age we need to generate emotion and energy and create a reason why, powerful enough to let us grow from seeds and push forward and upward to grow into tall strong powerful trees.
