One of the sayings that has haunted me for a long time is: “Your comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there.” Especially as I get older, I notice it gets harder and harder to do new things that break me out of my patterns, the things I focus my time and energy on and that I have done for a long time. Of course, every research paper I write has its own unique contribution and is novel in its own way, but after 500+ papers it becomes a bit comfortable to embark on yet another paper. In some ways, life is about experiences and repeating the same ones over and over again is not really living life to the fullest. So, how do we continue to grow, break out of our comfort zone and stay excited about life? Or are you still in your comfort zone? What new thing are you trying today?
