Becoming Unstoppable: How to Grow and Develop Beyond Your Comfort Zone with JP Sears

Being in our comfort zone is what makes us feel safe and happy. But just staying inside will be the reason why we are weak. Thus, we need to understand that being uncomfortable is what we need to grow, develop, and be more vital to face any problems life might throw at us. We need to stand for the truth and what we feel is right, even if it makes us uncomfortable because that makes us more solid and enjoy our life without regrets. We might hurt others in the process, but it is not bullying. We just need to know how to do that respectfully.

JP Sears shares his life experiences, lessons, and advice with people, particularly caged in their own comfort zone.  As a child grows up, the gate to the world opens slowly.

But getting out of our comfortable lifestyle is the key for us to improve and be stronger. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more!

Quotes:

• “If you're not ruffling any feathers, you better check in and see, am I using my heart as my North Star? Or am I just in this people-pleasing, frail, yet comfortable mindset of trying to avoid? If we do that before too long, we wake up and realize, Oh, I'm just living in the coffin of my comfort zone. It's comfortable, but it ain't no way to live.” – JP Sears
• “Approval is very worthless. It doesn't create fulfillment. It doesn't create purpose. It doesn't make better people's lives. It's all in avoiding discomfort mentality” – JP Sears
• “As a kid, my programming was, Oh, if something is uncomfortable, then it's bad for you. But if something's comfortable, it's good for you. We got to flip the script on that. So flipping the script, we will see that something comfortable is terrible for us and something uncomfortable is good for us.” –  JP Sears

Takeaways:

• It is essential to stand for the truth–for what we believe is our right decision and get out of our comfort zone. Yes, we may hurt others, but we must realize that being bold, brave, and unapologetic is not bullying.
• Pursuing people's approval is a huge mistake, and it feels good but just for a short period of time. In the long run, we will feel empty since we betray ourselves.
• Staying comfortable creates a weakness within ourselves. However, Doing uncomfortable things will make us better and stronger.

Conclusion:

A comfortable lifestyle is good; this is where we feel safe and happy. But we need to learn to leave our comfort zone because this is when we improve, grow, and be robust–enough to tackle this complex world and live a life of freedom without regrets.
