Success – Go Beyond Your Comfort Zone

Success - Go Beyond Your Comfort zone

To be successful in life you need to take risks so that you can change the present situation for the better. When you are afraid of failure and you don’t take action, there goes the saying nothing ventured nothing gained

How do you go about taking risks to increase your chances of success? Consider the following:


Clear objective

Focus on your main objective and identify those risks that you have to take and those you can avoid. The clearer your objective the easier it is to identify those risks related to it. When you are holding a well-paid job and you have got a good offer from another company, ask yourself,” Shall I move on or remain at the same place?”

How much risk can you shoulder?

Are you able to absorb the risks involved? Are the returns greater than the risks taken? If the risks are just temporary setbacks, by all means, try. Failure is the pathway to achieving success. As an example, can you give up your cushy job and pursue further education full-time?

Gather information

The more knowledgeable you are the better are your chances of success. Read widely, do research, and refer experts about the subject. Seek their views so that you can make a wise decision.

Decide and act

You just can’t keep evaluating the situation. A decision has to be taken and act accordingly. You have to go all the way to reach your objective with the risks involved. Don’t worry and don’t complain along the way. Just tell yourself that it is to gain a breakthrough for a much better future.

Post- mortem

Taking risks does not guarantee success. At least a valuable lesson is learnt so that you can avoid the same mistakes in the future. The thing is that you have to keep trying. Failure is not doomed but giving up is


Develop a spirit of going beyond your comfort zone. Be brave to challenge yourself and try new things to attain greater success.
