We construct stories and lives that define our comfort zones: “I’m good at this.” “I’m bad at that.” “I’m a writer.” “I’m a data scientist.” “I’m a realtor.” In this way, we tell our own story, and we write the next chapter, and the next, onward till the end.
Nice post Stephanie. I have always felt that we sometimes don’t pay enough attention to the magic that is already happening inside our so called current comfort zone. I have always been a glass half full kind of a guy; I strive to reach out constantly but not because I feel something is missing but because I am always seeking new knowledge, new understanding. Maybe we should not think of the “magic happens” circle as a distant island.
Having said that I completely agree with your insightful suggestion in this article.
