EXPAND YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND PUT SOME ADVENTURE IN YOUR LIFE

How spacious is your comfort zone? Are you weak inside? Frightened about taking that decision? Are you thinking about starting something new, doing something different, but afraid to take the first steps because there's just too many unknowns and what if it all goes wrong? Do you look at the edges of your comfort zone and tell yourself.. Why is it so small?

DOES THE ADVICE TO LOVE YOURSELF MAKE SENSE? Loving oneself doesn't entail that one is selfish, it just states that no one loves Nigeria better than Nigerians.

You haven't stepped out since morning, I find it horrifying that you choose to sit inside your room for the whole day".
