Leaving the comfort Zone

Last week, I read a post written by my favourite Youtubers, Anwar Hadi. It was about Zayn Malik (former One Direction) of not staying in the comfort zone. Well, perhaps because I have already passed the teenage time (when all the hormonal upside down take charge of your life) and I am so over this teenage obsession, Zayn Malik wasn't part of the long list that I googled and stalk into. I heard his name before from my  sister but that just  it. 

However, Anwar was right about his new song, Pillowtalk (Okay, please forgive me it is not the song that really matters). I have to admit it that Zayn has what it takes to be a seriously good singer. His popularity is not depending only on his look but it is his voice as well. He was famous enough when he was with One Direction (I only know him, I dont even know the name of the other members, so I guess he is famous enough because he is known to someone that dont even care like me, :P).

Anwar pointed it out that Zayn had taken a big step in his life when he decided to leave One Direction and came out with his first single. I don't know about his world (celebrity's world), but I can imagine it that he still had to work his self out to make things really working, at least for himself. Going out of your comfort zone to a new and strange zone will require a lot out of yourself. You will need to break some habits that may not be relevant to your new life and you may as well need to adopt new habit and make it part of you. And when I called it a habit, it means something that perhaps has been embedded in yourself for so long and it has become part of yourself. And the worst part of it, it may as well defines you before.

Its painful though, but giving up your comfort zone and embark into new adventures are the route mostly taken by the successful people. They didn't allow their life to be in a stagnant condition cause a stagnant water is always awful compared to the  waterfall. Like the clogged drain. That's why we enjoy waterfall a lot. The waterfall is always refreshing and we got our adrenaline rush and tranquillity both at the same time.   

I am taking the challenge as well. Instead of keeping myself to the same old environment for years, Allah has allowed me to learn and do something else that I have never imagined in my life. And it is a good thing. Yes, it is tough, considering my age now. OMG! I need to ensure that both my mind and my body can handle whatever surprises that are coming in my way. May Allah guide me to the right path. Amin.
