Yeah, right, we all know life's truth telling us to step out of our comfort zone to reach max potential or achieve greatness. Sounds very logical and easy-peasy when in writing, doesn't it? But the truth is that leaving your cozy nest (whether literal or figurative) is only ever easy in words, but never so in real life. It does take a lot of courage and determination to leave safety, and while we're not able to lend you that gentle push (or a shove; depends on what you need at the moment), these quotes about your comfort zone might just lend you the inspiration to at least start thinking about striving for the best. Whatever your best is, and not somebody else's, of course!

We have to admit here, out of all the inspiring quotes about love, life, and whatever else, these comfort zone quotes are by far our favorite. Think of it this way - everything great in life starts with you being a bit uncomfortable, be it love, relationships, or a career. So, if you agree with us on this, you'll see that these stepping out of your comfort zone quotes are actually the basis for plenty of other motivational stuff and loads of different life truths. All of these are important, but without this initial movement, they're basically nil. Now, what we do hope for is that these powerful quotes will motivate you and help you on your journey of moving forwards and onwards.

We're done with the rallying - now it's your turn to scroll on down below and check out the beautifully moving quotes. Be sure to give your vote for the quotes about the comfort zone that did stir something in you, for they might also have the very same effect on our other fellow readers. Once that is all well and done, share this article with your friends!

    Let me inform you. I used to have a couple songs and that was it. I would listen to them over and over again. One day I decided to play a station and it had songs that were not the ones I normally would listen to. I ended up extending my love for music and now have a Playlist of almost 500 songs. I also listen to lots of stations. I recommend trying it.

    Yes! We cut out a lot of meat to try something new. I do not regret it. I lost a lot of weight and my hair and skin feel so much better. My bowels work like new again too. We didn't cut out ALL the meat but for the most part we are vegetarian. Oh! And milk, we now drink the "Silk next milk". It is really good.
