Nature is always advancing that is what is called progress when you get to the next level there is always a next level, so things never stay the same.

I tried to change many things in my life and was only partially successful. I saw that slow, gradual change worked best with me. Unfortunately, this change could be undone quite fast, in some sudden way. It is a hard but noble quest. Good luck in your endeavor.

Potts) This is my new "personalized line" at my Messenger from today on. It is already there. Thank you for the inspiration! Your article reinforces my self-confidence, as I am going through the transition from my 9-5 "secure" job to my self-employment. I've promised to stay at my very soon ex-job until Aug. 31st, that is only 16 days away. For 20 years I've worked as an employee. This move is definitely getting out of the comfort zone, is definitely changing, is definitely taking steps I've not taken before in order to have a more glorious future, which I've already thought and keep thinking and with which I'm 100% committed. Change is growth in itself. Improvement or not, there's always a lesson and we are richer after we have a new experience. People who don't want to change are enjoying what they have, either positive or negative. One of the good things about this world is that we don't all want the same things! You always lead with the example and that is awesome to witness! Congrats once again on your change and here is to your more glorious future! Thanks, Patricia Dear Aaron,

For 20 years I’ve worked as an employee. This move is definitely getting out of the comfort zone, is definitely changing, is definitely taking steps I’ve not taken before in order to have a more glorious future, which I’ve already thought and keep thinking and with which I’m 100% committed.

One of the good things about this world is that we don’t all want the same things!

You always lead with the example and that is awesome to witness! Congrats once again on your change and here is to your more glorious future!

For one summer I live 1/2 block from the El tracks in Chicago. By the end of the summer, I learned to sleep through the train noise, but when I moved to a new apartment, I definitely appreciated the absence of the noise. How many times do we just "get used to" something negative and that keeps us from changing it? I love your story about living by the railroad tracks.

As usual, great post Aaron. It's always great to see someone speak the naked truth. One can tell by their reaction, I believe, how much of an issue a certain topic is in their lives. You know....either that guilty feeling or perhaps anger or resentment at the writer. In my case, I really enjoyed your article and found myself agreeing with your points, as well as pondering them. This, to me, as a good sign that I am doing well and also that I am open to even more...I am particularly interested in any habits I may be clinging to which are no longer serving me. This will require some deeper honesty and introspection. Many thanks for the reminder, as while this may be uncomfortable, it is the only way to change...and as we all know, not only is change inevitable it is also the way we grow. Shauna P.S. I hope you are all enjoying your new home to the max! :) Woohoo!

If nothing changes things get worse imho. We can't live in inertia we have to be moving either forward or backwards. If you're not growing you're dying and that is a fact of nature. Our comfort zone starts to contract if we're not pushing at the edges all the time. I minor quibble though Aaron because I fully concur with the sentiments of what you have to say, good post!
