In reading Zee Zulu’s recently work“Ready To Squirm “ I found it fascinating 
and provocative 
She was ready to move out of her comfort zone and face more challenges to enhance her life
It got me thinking about this and I did some self analyzing 
I have always found contentment in my comfort zone -satisfied to stay there
Except for athletics I’m not competitive 
As long as I’m in the zone
There are of course times when outside 
issues beyond my control  create disturbing and uncomfortable situations 
 
Zee has a different perspective purely 
valid but different then mine
Facing challenges and achieveing them or even attempting them can give an individual pride nd satisfaction 
I call it The No Pain No Gain theory 
Meaning- to reach certain goals require 
a concentrated effort
Where I believe there is a modification 
Is what some of my coaches would 
advocate 
To damage yourself to reach a goal makes no sense to me
To give a hundred percent effort does Outside pressures or people 
can influence you to endure pain to a
breaking point and damage -temperary 
or sometimes permanent can occur
Knowing your own mind and body is a
necessaty in these situations 

Zee is embarking on a new life 
adventure 
I wish her unquantified success and can’t wait to read her progress in this remarkable new journey

I hear what you are saying and I see where you are coming from. The transition from my comfort zone in the context of my writing is by no means I am planning to go wild and crazy, no. It's more about taking charge, making decisions that would enhance my life. For example, when before I used to hide away from my darkness by pretending it's not there, that was my comfort zone. I felt comfortable burying my head in the sand, sweeping things under the rug, so to speak. But being comfortable with no dealing with matters that should be dealt with accordingly is not the zone I want to be in anymore. And I realize that to do some of the things I need to do, will make me feel uncomfortable for in the process, there will be toes that I'll have to step on, some feelings I may hurt, and just those things alone are out of my comfort zone. Know what I mean? Not to mention the excavation of layers and layers of myself, seeing myself through lens of truth to work on myself. I'm thinking that can be as uncomfortable as it gets.
