Comfort zone

I was visiting brilliant photographer Sarah Rhoads’ blog this morning and I felt in love not only with her images but also with her words. Her post “Comfort kills” is genius and I specially love this part:

“Comfort is the enemy. It stifles growth and it makes us complacent. Comfort makes us satisfied with the mediocre. Comfort keeps us in the “safe zone” rather than challenging us to explore that which is un-safe. Comfort kills creativity. Comfort keeps us from failing and we need to fall on our faces a lot in life to grow. The majority will seek out comfort. It is the “easy road,” the road traveled by many. I don’t want to be the majority. I want to be the minority, the exceptional, the seasoned, the absolute best I can be.”

How good is that?!?!?!!??!

Be sure to stop by at her blog for some more brilliancy. Thumbs up!
