Sticking
to routine is totally boring, right?
Having
years spent in one place, from Monday to Friday, 08.00 a.m. to 17.00 p.m. and
you do it regularly with similar activities day to day, does this question come
to your mind?
Is it life all you want to be?
It
was fresh in mind the first day I joined this company. Firstly I stepped out from
my boarding house and had spirit to do my best with all efforts that it needed
to make me awesome in the workplace. I believe for sure that almost new worker
who experienced the moment of ‘officially hired’ in their first day will have
the same feeling as I am. Everything seemed good at that time, I was full of
spirit and felt enthusiast to anything right in front of my face. What a
feeling when you met new people, new friends, new environment and new things to
learn about. Each day was great I think, because I found out new things came
out by interaction, by communication and by world created as consequent of
smart people I dealt with as my knowledge source.
A
day had been turned into month, few months just felt like yesterday and this
month already expanded to years. The oxygent you inhaled in the same room for 8
hours a day was no more be different like the other days. You just saw nothing wrong
with your life, even so much things that need to be complaint about, such as
salary, personal attitude of your workmates, a boring boss and not debatable
superior you had, but you only prefer to deal with rather than againts it. In
this stage, I’d like to say “welcome to Comfort Zone Area”.
I’m
so often to hear a very well-known sentence by Neale Walsh ‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone’, but the problem is
getting out from comfort zone is very uneasy. Trust me. I am so really deeply
want to move forward but tons of unimaginable scenarios came over my head and
drove me crazy. Lots of questions starting with ‘how if’ sat in my mind. How if
another places not better than this one? How if the pressure in another place
hit me more than this one? How if I eventually become more miserable in a new
place. These questions actually has no answer because it doesn’t happent yet,
but it scares me more than I realize. I spent hundred of days to brave myself
take a step to out of my comfort zone, but unfortunately, here I am – still sit
in the same chair, in front of same table and tumble with the same problem
every day. Now I feel my life so damn flat, so lame and stuck.
I
looked around to find out is there any body who feel the same as I am. The fact
is, all of people surround me have different dilemma, even they also feel the
same. Mostly it happens because of reasons to choose for survive in this place
are heterogeneous. Here are some of main reasons based on my personal view.
They have no other option, less confident to
compete in the new place & supportive environment that enliven them, and
these three are my problem just know, I am on my way to gather my braveness to
step out and no more want to look back with no regret, not even once. Wish me a better step ahead!
