Living in the Comfort Zone








             Your comfort zone may seem comfortable to you, but it
             is only a result of your way of thinking. If you change your
           conditioned thinking, every ‘zone’ will become a comfort zone
                                     for you.


                ne’s comfort zone is a situation in which one feels

          the boy and girl understand this fact, they will regard
          their situation as an issue of management and not of
          reaction.
