The 10 Most Helpful Ways to Become a Better You

#1 - Abandon your comfort zone. We always fear leaving our comfort zones—and never achieving anything extraordinary because we are afraid of what a bit of courage might cause. We must understand that our comfort zone is our enemy. It’s the little voice telling us to keep that job we know we hate, or to stay in our relationships we know we’re unhappy in, or to not go after a girl or boy we know we’re interested in. We stay in it because we are afraid of what facing adversity and humility feels like. We tend to get so afraid of being anything but “comfortable”, that we never end up pursuing our dreams, and always settle for mediocrity. We should abandon our comfort zones— and stop letting our fear of the unknown dictate what we can or can’t do with our lives. The world is ours for the taking, and we should make our lives exactly what we want to, regardless of who says otherwise.
