Think Big Dream High,E23-A Person Who Is Comfortable In The Comfort Zone



Success

1.Success is a process. It began with a dream, ambition and proceeded with a high level of confidence for someone who wants to succeed.

2. This process will only be complete if it is followed by an action plan. Continuous improvements made on the plan, increasing steadily until it reaches the maximum level of satisfaction.

3.The most important thing is that the person who wants to achieve success should not be satisfied to just be in the comfort zone.   Those who are not satisfied being in the comfort zone will minimize their chances of failure and maximize their chances to succeed.

Reality in Life

1.Being comfortable usually dampens effort to improve and increase our level of success. We lost the opportunity to identify all our weaknesses. We are swayed away with the fruits of our success.

2.A frog will eventually die without it realizing when the container full of water he is in, is  slowly being heated. The warmer the water, the more comfortable  the frog becomes. This frog who is snuggling in the container filled with water, face a sudden death when the  water slowly reaches boiling point.

3.In order not to face the same fate as the frog, we need to be alert and mindful all the time. When the water reaches boiling point, there is no way the frog can save itself. It is fated to die.  Comparatively, we will also not be able to act when it is too late to do anything. This in reality is what we are experiencing and faced with. We have this habit of thinking that we have all the time in the world to remedy our mistakes.

4. More often than not we hear phrases like, “its ok, lets wait a while and enjoy first. When the time comes we repent and ask Allah SWT for forgiveness”. Our repentance will only be accepted by Allah, SWT when we are in a healthy state of mind. When death comes knocking, the doors for repentance will be tightly shut.

Tips   

1.Don’t be satisfied too fast. Don’t be boastful too fast. Don’t be too quick to claim success. Don’t be comfortable too early. Always assume all the time  that our quest for success has not ended. Always assume all the time that we have unfinished business that we need to attend to. Always assume all the time that our performance need to be checked and improved.

2.The people around us will usually report the good stuff. We too would like to hear the positive things only. We always reprimand the staff that reported the negative things. In actual fact the bitter stuff is the medicine to cure us. That is our fault, we just like the sweet and things that look good on the surface. We forget that, the sweet things will slowly make us obese and die of  heart attack.

3.We are protected from being exposed to negative things. We need to have our own spy.We need to have an independent investigative system, to obtain information about our performance, our department’s performance and our company’s performance.
4.This is not the humane spy but rather the spy in the form of an early warning  trigger system. This system will  pull us back from daydreaming about our success.

5.These measures are all important to avoid falling and being trapped in the comfort zone. The zone that not only can kill a frog without any intellectual capacity but the same fate will befall to  intellectual people like us. We need to be alert at all times ,we need to think big dream high and have a strong heart.
