For these shut-ins, the home is their comfort zone, where they have been pampered by parents, perhaps since day one.

Warm bed and getting pampered in the house are great. But here’s the rub – There’s not a whole lot going on if you stay in bed or in the house all the time. The world is obviously bigger than the confines of your house. A lot of fun is going on outdoors as well and yet shut-ins are not going to be participants over there, be it in the playground at school, or in the mountains in the countryside.

And the biggest rub of all rubs is this: the longer one stays in one’s comfort zone, the less likely they would be able to cope competently if they stepped out of it, if ever, that is, they stepped out of it. Lack of practice, that’s why.

Let’s face it, we all have our little comfort zones where there is peace, ease and comfort, where life is relaxed, stable and familiar. That’s only part of the bargain. In the comfort zone, there’s no challenge. There’s no risk-taking. There is no adventure. There is no fun. There is some fun at first playing a computer game, I guess, but that fun wears out without change and variety.

The familiar, or the same-old-same-old, gets dull over time, and we want something else, something new and exciting.

That’s human nature.

The moral?

If you’re too comfortable with your life, perhaps you need a new challenge. So, step out of your comfort zone and do something new.
