ARE YOU HAPPY OR JUST COMFORTABLE?
You found a place. A really nice place, colorful enough to make you feel welcomed, sunny enough to make you feel warm and calm enough to make you feel comfortable. Happiness seems to be here.
But wait... are you really happy or just comfortable?
A comfort zone is a beautiful place but there is a lot of silence. Absence of actions and reactions. Nothing moves and everything is under peace and quiet.
However, happiness needs more. Needs inspiration, changes and new places. Happiness is around people, not in loneliness. Find a beautiful place and you can stay there. But, make sure to put in this place lovely people and to travel a lot.
Beautiful and comfort places are in our life to return to them after a long and happy ride outside.
Congratulations on your 2 years! :)
I was talking to my husband about that the other day. I love the place we live right now. It is the perfect size for a family of three. But I would love to get a water front house where we could park our small boat and stop paying for the marina.
Our currently house is paid off, we have a very comfortable house, we are at a very comfortable stage of our lives.
My husband is concerned that, if we move to a bigger house and on the water, it would cost more and we would have a mortgage. Having a mortgage scares the both of us.
My main point is, if we don’t move out of our comfort zone, we will never upgrade. To upgrade we need some risks.
Glad to hear your story!Of course when our needs can be completed, then we have the chance to take a risk, otherwise nothing changes. However, if we don't want more and we are satisfied enough with what we have, then a comfort zone maybe is our happiness.
