Comfort Will Ruin Your Life

We usually avoid difficulty whenever we can, but I try to do something difficult every single day.
In this video, I’ll explain the three main reasons behind why I’ve chosen this approach.
And it all starts with the comfort zone.
When we're in our comfort zones, we're not pushing ourselves.
At the first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with that.
Why would we voluntarily put ourselves in a position of struggle, if we don't have to?
But if we only live our lives in comfort, we might be unknowingly doing ourselves an injustice.
Hopefully by the end of the video you will be inspired to leave your comfort zone and do something difficult today yourself.

[@BetterThanYesterday]

Hey everyone! Yes, all is well and I'm actually still alive. Whether you're an old subscriber or you've just stumbled upon the channel, you might have noticed it's been quite a while since the last upload. Roughly a year ago, I encountered some copyright issues, which made the channel temporarily inaccessible. Luckily it was all sorted out and the channel was made available again. But even with the issues resolved, I didn't create any new content for quite a while. To be completely honest, I fell out of the video creation routine and instead spent my time doing other things that I found compelling. Content creation was simply pushed to the side. I was still working on videos, but since other activities were taking most of my time, barely any progress was made on them. However, I'm now finally returning to revive this channel, starting with this video. I'm going to keep it on a smaller scale, so videos probably won't be uploaded as often as before, but I'm happy to announce that I'm back to making them regularly nonetheless. Finally, I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support over the years. It means a lot. I hope you're all doing well in these turbulent times and are still trying to become better than yesterday :) BTY

Comfort is so addictive for me. It's hard to even look back. I've been a hard worker since school till college and I went into depression during my college years just trying to be a good student academically. Now I've found a simple yet decent work. And I've been living happier than ever. A feeling I've not felt in a long time since childhood.

[@Zhekadimus]

Same here.. After trying to run different businesses and school on the side, i got burned out.. Fell into heavy drinking followed by depression. To get out of a rut, I got a simple job that I eventually got really good at. And that's probably the happiest I've ever been. Maybe because my job had awesome co-workers, played a role in that too.

[@cmcordoYT]

Since I was a child, I had so much responsibility that should have not been placed on my shoulders. As an adult, I had even more responsibilities. I am finally retired but I have to deal with medical issues that are serious and, likely, genetic. Any chance I get to get into my comfort zone, I will do it. After dealing with a lot of fake or toxic friends from the past (I don't have them in my life anymore), I did decide to not bother meeting anyone new or make any new friends. This has allowed me to concentrate on getting to know my current friends more than before. They have been good friends through the years and there is no way I'm going to bring people that could try to hurt me anymore. I'm no longer overwhelmed and exhausted. Even with my chronic illness, these are the best and happiest years so far.

Life is very short and people should find a comfortable way to live if that's what they want.

[@cmcordoYT]

@@ab_0625 Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I know what it is like to do too much that it becomes too challenging, even when you don't search for challenges. Sometimes life, itself, is a challenge, so any time I can take a break, I'm not going to feel bad about it. I like to simplify my life here and there. Too many people think they have to sacrifice the majority of their time for "success". They add things to their super busy lives and never give themselves time to think and relax. They run around like the world will stop if they don't have a million things they need to do each day. It's healthy to take time to relax and ponder about anything or nothing, if they want.

Its about balance and moderation. There is healthy stress, for example our muscles are put on stress when lifting and the grow from it. Same with the brain. Obviously you can go too far but this video is speaking to people who never do it.

[@TurnRiver]

The improvements need to be within "arm's reach" or 1%. Sounds arbitrary but over stretching can be harmful. Most people dont push themselves consistently or intensely enough to understand where this limit is.

[@hamyle0410]

I've experienced burnout for quite a long time and it was indeed counter productive. But it doesn't mean that I shouldn't push myself again. To avoid stress, try to break tasks into small parts and do it little by little, set a boundary to avoid thinking of what you can't change, and only focus on what you can change.

[@hawkins413]

1:16 When you're doing the same things, the same way, over and over, the comfort zone itself begins to shrink. The things that you were comfortable with before, are now less comfortable. 2:52 However, when we push ourselves and do something that is a little more difficult or challenging for us, we leave the comfort zone and we enter the growth zone. There's no improvement without challenge, remember that. 3:48 Of course the comfort zone isn't just one single zone for everything. We have multiple zones. You might be pushing yourself in some of them, stagnating in others and even deteriorating in some. It's up to each of us to identify which zone needs more work. And it's completely fine to stop progressing in some areas if you're happy with where you are. There's no need to push yourself at everything you do. 4:19 But if you're not happy with where you are, there are a few ways to go from comfort to growth. 1. Do it more consistently and do it more often. 2. Do it more intensely and do a harder version of what you normally do. 3. Do it for a longer period of time. 6:42 With that being said, if something is difficult, it doesn't automatically mean it's good. The area you want to be uncomfortable in, has to have some sort of a long-term benefit. So these types of areas are where you should actually push yourself, the ones with short-term pain, but long-term gain. And that is the second reason why I try to do something difficult every day. Even though it might feel uncomfortable in the moment, I know that my behavior will pay off in the future. And only by entering the growth zone and pushing myself, am I able to reap those positive long term benefits.

The comfort zone shrinking is the reason why I left Europe to work in Middle Asia for a few years. I was noticing that I was increasingly afraid of the wide world, with its wars and plagues and catastrophes. I started to hide in my comfortable middle European country and was about to dig a trench around my comfort zone. Then I applied for a job 12 hours of flight away, moved there, found an apartment, friends, a new way to see the world. It was the best decision I made in the last decade, and it gave me back the world and the freedom to not hide in my safe tiny nest.

It's fascinating that you came back and uploaded a new one with a very timely message to me like you know what feel personally. I've been constantly burnt out and even get sick and then stay stuck in an unending cycle. I just realized recently that I have been pushing myself consistently at the danger zone each time I recover from being stuck. Now I am stuck once again because I feel so burnt out after trying too hard right away even when I was never used to it. It's like aiming for an A+ right away when I have always received C's all my life. I keep skipping the steps and attempt a huge leap that only makes me fall. I am trying my best to get back on track again and experience real growth this time. Because comfort zone is just a "temporary refuge but not permanent residence." Thank you for these videos! They have helped and inspired me a lot. Also, I have been physically sick lately and I really find difficulty getting back on track because my goals were ruined and was left with so much backlogs.

Really happy to see you back bro, I was subscribed to your channel after you stopped creating videos. I was just there in a hope that you will soon upload a new video. Thanks you have changed a lot in my life. I'm working on one of the biggest goals of my life, it will be completed in 2-3 months. I will definitely let you know once it's done.

[@cosmic5934]

What was your goal? did you complete it?

[@noyce.]

This dude sums up something so simple yet so complex in about 14 minutes while some courses couldn't in weeks. Respect.

[@ibelieveinyou1696]

I really liked the fact that you covered the topic completely and not half based. I remember the times when I used to take on too much at the beginning and failing. For example, during the pandemic, I wanted to study a lot and get better a lot as well. Hence, I decided that I'll keep studying until I get there. Like, I didn't sleep at all, I didn't rest at all and kept studying all the time. This would go on for like 6 days and on the 7th day, I would have accidentally fallen asleep. Then after such a failure, I would spend 1-2 days simply crying and cursing myself for falling asleep. But, after all that crying, I would make another plan and try to complete it the same way again. This would keep going on for a long time. Plus, I also had that belief that we should keep giving ourselves pain, because that what usually occurs when we get out of our comfort zone. To do this, I would usually sit with thin clothes in winter, read extremely painful news of COVID-19 patients and about that of the injured ones of the war. I just believed that it's important to make mysgo through pain. Because somehow not experiencing those things would mean like I'm running away from reality or something. I don't do those things anymore. But, I still have that belief that if we are going to do something, then we better give it our all in doing it, which includes every single area of life, every day. I have a hard time just resting or doing something without putting my everything in it. Doing so, most of the time I end up with a burnout simply because of carrying day to day tasks. Then, I feel so exhausted and unfocused to do what I actually like and have fun doing later on. I didn't realise this pattern until I watched your video. Thank you for your efforts.

Welcome back Man, missed you a ton❤️ don't leave us again please💝

[@therealmakmillion]

I absolutely love your channel! Your videos are so inspiring, and motivational, you have unknowingly helped me ‘out of my shell’ countless times 😌 Thank you for everything that you do!!

[@humble.genius]

Wow, this video actually came to me the exact time i feel burnout. I realize now that i dont have to strive for everything to be better, i just need to choose which matter the most.

[@David_prod-eNGee]

This video runs very deep. Though the examples are very simple to understand, it’s actually kind of mind blowing how this can apply to almost anything you can think of. I think this video really helps give a method of gauging where you’re at in any area in your life that needs more or less of your energy, and help strike a balance.

[@daydreamdanzaa]

You are doing great, man!!! Huge thanks for keeping the clear and positive vector of thought!

[@lauinesjunges]

Thanks for sharing this video! 😁 In my case, the most challenging thing is not to stay too long when I go back to my comfort zone. (For example, when I try to improve my nutrition) Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped there because I can't find the correct balance. However, that doesn't stop me from trying again... it's like playing in a lab, doing experiments with myself. 😁 Welcome back and THANKS again for all your work. 😊 Let's all have a great day! 🤗

[@gabyherzog1900]

I love your videos. Thank you! You can tell you a few advantages of breaking an ankle from my experience: I'm a dancing teacher and would never have thought that I might be able to teach sitting. Now I have a new skill that will help me when I'm really old and still want to teach. I trained my ankles and they are now stronger than they where before. I also have a better balance. And I could relax from the great stress I was having and learned to accept that things also work without me. So, everything has a good side.

[@Threetails]

I spent the first 28 years of my life completely and utterly outside my comfort zone because I was afraid if I didn't meet or exceed EVERY expectation and push EVERY boundary I wouldn't have much of a life. It's overrated. I regret not becoming a hedonist sooner!

[@travisstaebell9273]

You are an incredible content creator. Don't give up! continue putting out this great content (unless its no longer what you love doing of course). At first, I'm not gonna lie, your accent and the drawing style videos made it hard to follow. But i quickly looked past that and saw the incredible content you always put out. You have made me a better person. I hope this encourages you and you are motivated to continue making this fantastic content. You are my favorite channel!

[@coffeebreak2652]

I've experienced this in my studies , settling for average grades when I can achieve much more . I will try to challenge myself in the future. Getting out of the comfort zone is painful and bitter but so is staying in it for too long. And as the video states : there's no imporvement without challenge . So let's put an end to procrastination. 💯💯

[@springgal265]

In comfort zone acheive nothing.

[@zodiacfml]

This feels only applicable to people devoid of stress, physical exertion, and eating only particular favorite foods. Most people already outside the comfort zone by working, being employed, and or being outside the house.

[@modernmistyk4341]

Thank you for this great video. Another good piece of advice for breaking out of the comfort zone is the letting go of limiting beliefs

What is hard is worth the struggle and the lessons learned through a hard process will benefit you in the future as well. If manhood and mastery is something that interests you, I invite you to use the resources on the Mastery Order Channel and challenge yourself with some ideas about masculinity to become the kind of man you would look up to, a man that never says "no" to tough challenges. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!

Being in the comfort zone for more than 5 years now and it clearly has ruined me. Being a school topper to literally zero.

Wooooooowwww I have never commented on anything in my life but this…. Brother, friend, I see the light in you shine in me brighter now because of your precise, well constructed, and powerful message. I am a creater that never truly believed in them selves because I’ve lived my whole life in the danger zone constantly pushing it past the limit where not even a great nights rest the perfect food the right amount of water and the perfect routine structured even down to the minute at times I never knew how much I was hurting myself because I never knew how to take a break I judged myself so harshly because I had impossible expectations so I never build it myself I was constantly riding in the danger zone and I just want to thank you for making this continent much love brother.

[@captain_toshi0724]

I am an introvert who are struggling with social interaction and also lazy to do things because of depression. Thanks for this motivation. I agree, you cannot outgrow yourself unless you get out of your comfort zone. If you let yourself get out, you will experience new things that is actually help improve your life.

[@kantai3309]

“Comfort” is the point of life in a sense. But due to not being aware; intelligent enough, (not necessarily having ability not to, possibly due to conditions too) we don’t act as efficient for maximum comfort*time as if it(general conditions- intelligence- awareness) was the other way.

[@marco1941]

Studying requires me to get out of the comfort zone a lot. So I'm already doing the hard thing atm. We should also take care of ourselves and make sure we don't push ourselves further than we can take! We also need time to recreate and actually enjoy life. I've put myself oftentimes into an overextension, so I quit after a while. That ruins your life, too.

[@elcapitan6126]

yeah... too much discomfort and we end up with depression or worse (hopelessness). there is a balance between either extremes.

[@alexdrob7499]
