I agree that sometimes we have to retreat to comfort and safety. However, when I have had the most success in my life is when I reach outside of my comfort zone. I don’t do it permanently, but I use it as a way to get to the next step. It’s a way to get out of stagnancy or a overcome a lack of social or career momentum.
