Comfort Zone

Almost all people create a space, in their personal lives or in their work places, where they are the most comfortable. They inhabit spaces which give them a sense of comfort. They move amongst people who make them comfortable and give them a sense of security. They normally do not venture out of their comfort zones. It is often said that if people do not come out of their comfortable sanctuary and challenge themselves, they do not grow in any sphere of their lives. But what if they are happy in the comfort zones they have created for themselves? I feel happiness is far important than jumping out and going and exploring unknown entities. I may have this feeling as I am getting older whereas a young person may brave the odds and go out into the world in search of something new.
