If we don’t engage in new experiences, we don’t gain new perspectives. We don’t make progress; we don’t grow. Getting out of your comfort zone puts you in the growth zone. But it’s not always easy, is it? We like the familiar. We feel safe, secure, stable.

Getting out of your Comfort Zone
There’s an old Khmer saying that says:
បើគ្មានការតស៊ូក៏គ្មានការរីកចម្រើនដែរ។
bae kmean kar tsaou ka kmean kar rik chamreun der
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress”
In English, we might use this phrase:
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
Both of these proverbs essentially mean that if we don’t engage in new experiences, we don’t gain new perspectives. We don’t make progress; we don’t grow.
