A lot of times we think that everything is easy. Everything should be easy. And we should get all the things in an easy way without... And so we just stay relaxed and we just wait for the things to come to us without making... An attempt to grow, which is really dangerous. And that's today's topic. Staying in your comfort zone and the consequences of staying there. Let's get started.
Hello, this is Zia again from EZ, the English zone, where you can learn English the easy way. Today's topic is about comfort zone. The idea of comfort zone. And the topic is comfort zone is not comfort, is not comfortable. And I'm going to talk about the human potential. How much potential is hidden? How much ability we have that's hidden when we're in a state of comfort zone?
Which is a very dangerous zone. It's not like the engler zone engler zone is awesome Comfort zone is not comfort So The idea of potential, the hidden energy, the hidden power that every one of us has is really not useful.
at all if we don't use it like if you have so much talent if you have so much uh energy or skill but you don't use any of it then you're not you don't have it if you don't use it even if you're a talented you know language learner or musician or you know artist if you don't use it that means uh it's useless you don't have it so coming back to the idea of comfort zone staying in that zone of uh just a relaxing
comfortable life and not thinking about pressure and you know having a regular job and just oh you know I have a regular job I you know I'm comfortable with my life that's not comfort because you're not going to practice you're not going to practice all the human potential that you have and I feel like one of the really good ways to really test your potential is when you're under pressure and you... every one of us we have so much capacity we have so much
potential hidden power that we don't really realize until we are in a state of urgency or emergency for example when I was younger when I was 12 My brother, we were driving together and my brother hit someone, hit a child on the road. He just came on the street and we hit him. He was on the, he was on the, he was fine, but you know, initial reaction. So he was on the floor and I got out. I was only 12. I got out. I picked him up.
he was almost my size i picked him up and put him in the car and i remember that but i'm saying like if you tell me if you asked me if i could carry someone my size into a car I would say, no, I can't. But in that state of emergency, in that state of shock and urgency, I did it, right? So this idea of... comfort zone is deadly. It's fatal because we don't know how much we can do until we're pressured. We're under pressure. So if we...
If we could only pretend that we're under pressure, pressure is perfect. Pressure is amazing. It's really awesome. It helps you grow. It helps you... you know persevere and go through stuff so if you really want to experience that if you want to experience human potential if you if you want to experience how much you can do just try and pretend that you are under pressure whether it's let's say like you put yourself under pressure for example like pretending that without that like if you don't
Do something like giving yourself a deadline and saying, if by the end of this time, I am going to, I have to, I must do something. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble. sometimes the trouble is real it's a it's a real deadline that you have like if i don't pay off my car by the end of this year i'll lose it so because of that You're going to work every single day, right? And you will work so hard that when you look back, you will have no idea that you were able.
to do that so if you um so imagining that pretending even when you're not under real pressure just putting yourself under pressure to achieve goals and dreams and objectives that you want to achieve, just try that. you are going to create yourself a deadline. By the end of this year, I have to, I must make $100,000. No matter what. You are going to, your brain is going to help you find ways to get there. Or by the end of this year, I must be fit. If not...
I'm dead, right? So creating that kind of mindset that you are under pressure. And if you don't do it, something really bad is going to happen. And I'm done. I'm experiencing some sort of pressure, real pressure right now. And I'm using all my potential. And I can't live in the state of comfort zone. I've never been that kind of person, but I've been a lazy person, which is another way of, you know, another.
a way to say that you know i've i like or i live in a state of comfort zone but right now i'm experiencing some real pressure and i I can't believe what I am able and what I am capable of doing that I would not be able to do if I just lived in comfort zone. I'm just using my full potential. It's life-changing. It's just changed my life. And so I just wanted to share that with you guys.
