Outside the Comfort Zone

Having lived in many different places throughout my life, I look at adaptability as one of my top strengths. Moving to different neighborhoods, going to different schools, and making new friends have helped make each new transition easier. Its also given me different outlooks on different issues and made a more well-rounded person. Some of the transitions weren't easy, but I think that it's important for everyone to experience new things and leave their comfort zone often in their life. You can't really grow as a person unless you are willing to go out on a limb and experience some sort of stress related to the unknown. So go to a country that you don't know a word of the native language and go eat something you've never even heard of. Basically don't be afraid to try new things and to take yourself outside of your comfort zone.
