Increasing civilization and technologic developments makes living easier and easier for today’s generation. Right now, basic needs like food, communication or entertainment are obtained easier than ever and we barely ever need to even leave our house to ensure these needs. Even tough this situation seems like a good thing but such good conditions make it harder to leave our comfort zone. One of the biggest problems of this generation is the refusal to leave the comfort zone and this situation makes some people question if it is possible for someone to obtain success without leaving his/her comfort zone.
A common opinion about this is “Nothing good comes out of your comfort zone. If you mean success, you must embrace discomfort.” This way of thinking is not wrong at all. For someone to be called successful he or she should do something impressive and for something to be impressive it shouldn’t be something that anyone can achieve without hard work and time. People call someone successful because he/she has done something the most of the population couldn’t do and literally everyone can stay in their comfort zone. What not everyone but only successful people are able to manage is discomfort. Only people who understand that the best and only thing to do while aiming success is to leave their comfort zone and work harder are able to embrace discomfort because they know that discomfort is the only way through success.
A counter argument for this opinion might be that with technology there is a lot of new opportunities for success and if a person works smart enough he could manage to earn passive income and become successful without working hard. This statement might be true but it is still not possible to become successful without leaving your comfort zone. Because no matter how smarter you work or how easy and shorter the road to success gets, you need to put work to achieve anything. Even if you win the lottery, it happened because you bought a ticket.
In conclusion, you may not have to work extremely hard to become successful but it is impossible for a person to become successful without leaving his/her comfort zone or experiencing discomfort.
