Don’t Ever Get Comfortable

The most dangerous addiction in life is comfort, because nothing grows in the comfort zone.

Have you ever felt so uncomfortable in the unknown that you wanted to give up on life, your dreams, or your goals altogether? It’s like all you can hear in your mind are the voices saying, “I can’t,” “I don’t,” and “I won’t.” Doubt becomes loud, and even though the territory isn’t completely unfamiliar, it still feels full of fear and uncertainty.

We all reach that point where discomfort feels unbearable. Our natural fight or flight instincts kick in, even when there’s no real danger, just resistance to change.

So we build lives that revolve around staying safe and comfortable, mentally and physically.

But here’s the truth: I’ve been living in that comfort zone myself, avoiding problems, ignoring illness, numbing anxiety. I almost gave up on me. I convinced myself that I had earned a break, that I had done enough. And in that space, I became lazy with my body, my eating habits, my work, all the things I once took seriously.

I showed up on the outside, but inside, my mind had clocked out. And that left me even more exhausted, more frustrated, and far from the woman I used to be.

Comfort didn’t protect me. It paralyzed me. It stole my focus, my discipline, and worst of all, my sense of purpose.

But these last few weeks? God shook me. I’ve been hit with wave after wave of emotion, crying out, “Why me? Haven’t I already been through enough?” And God answered,

“Being comfortable is for the weak. Strength grows in the struggle. Faith is forged in the fire.”

So I’m choosing courage over comfort.

Joshua 1:9: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

And as I rise again, I’m not doing it alone;

Together, we are Fit2Heal.
