Comfort today, lazy tomorrow??

Right from our childhood we in the process of growing up, also gather a set of constricting habits- be it good ones or bad, but traps us in a zone of supposed comfort.....In some cases it becomes so predominant that we start performing well below our true potentials. Further letting them grow makes a impression in our consciousness, which will play an important role in our outlook of our life's.

These things might start off in a very insignificant manner, which we might not even think of seriously. There’s even nothing specially wrong with those habits as such. They probably worked for us in the past. But now it’s time to step over them and go into the wider world of your unused potential.

There isn't any fixed future path that one follows to lead life. Despite all the helpful advice from parents, teachers and elders, each of us must make our own way in the world, doing the best we can and quite often getting things wrong. Messing up a few times isn’t that big a deal. But if you get scared and try to avoid all mistakes by sticking with just a few “tried and true” methods, you have no idea of the number of opportunities you are letting go. Lots of people who experience boredom in life/work are probably doing this to themselves. They’re bored and frustrated because that’s what their choices have caused them to be. People who never make mistakes never make anything else either.

Some points which might help :

Success Formulas keep changing
I can't even prepare a cup of tea/coffee to taste the same consecutive times, so don't expect something to work out just because it has sometime in the past. Keep looking for better alternatives and importantly more efficient ways of doing things.
Just for a start try to do something everyday/every week which you haven't done in the past, however trivial it might be.

Self-Assessment
I think this is an important aspect in every stage you grow up. One might not be conscious of things we start doing in a regular basis, so even bad things bad seem to be right to us and it becomes really difficult to trying to refrain yourself from doing in a latter stage. Something atleast as addictive as nicotine or cocaine.

Be who you are
It’s easy to assume that you always have to fit in to get on in the world; that you must conform to be liked and respected by others or face exclusion. Because most people want to please, they try to become what they believe others expect, even if it means forcing themselves to be the kind of person they aren’t, deep down.
You need to start by putting yourself first. You’re unique. We’re all unique, so saying this doesn’t suggest that you’re better than others or deserve more than they do. You need to put yourself first because no one else has as much interest in your life as you do; and because if you don’t, no one else will. Putting others second means giving them their due respect, not ignoring them totally. Keeping up a self-image can be a burden. Hanging on to an inflated, unrealistic one is a curse. Give yourself a break.

If you’re maybe not as wonderful as you’d like to be, you aren’t nearly as bad as you fear either. The releif when you know yourself really does set you free; free to work on being better and to forgive yourself for being human; free to express your gratitude to others and recognize what you owe them; free to acknowledge your feelings without letting them dominate your life. Above all, you’ll be free to understand the truth of living: that much of what happens to you is no more than chance. It can’t be avoided and is not your fault. There’s no point in beating yourself up about it.

What is holding you in situations and actions that no longer work for you often isn’t inertia or procrastination. It’s the power of habitual ways of seeing the world and thinking about events. Until you can let go of those old, worn-out habits, they’ll continue to hold you prisoner.

If you can accept the truth about the world and yourself, change whatever is holding you back, and get on with a fresh view on life, you’ll find that single action lets you open the door of your self-imposed prison and walk free. There’s a marvelous world out there. You’ll see, if you try it.
