The comfort zone is often labeled as one of the world's most dangerous places because it discourages growth and innovation. Staying in a familiar zone or position prevents you from exploring new challenges and learning opportunities. This pattern is a position in which you feel secure but stagnant, leading to a need for more confidence in your ability to handle new situations. Many people, time, and time again, find themselves in this situation and often justify it to procrastinate on whatever tasks or goals they wish to achieve. The problem becomes apparent when various life events push people beyond their comfort zone, leaving them unprepared.
