Incredibly long ago, when I was about 15 years old, I ran away from home. I was homeless for several months in a totally strange place, with nobody I knew anywhere near, and scrambling to stay alive until I became old enough to get a job. I was frightened at first, but that didn't last long. It became an exciting adventure, and Iwas really pround of myself for getting through it. I don't think it can be as positive an experience with the world the way it was in the 1960s, so it would be terrifying for someone these days. We all have resources within us we rarely, if ever, tap into. Our level of comfort sometimes keeps us in a place that's a bit too "cushy," not urging us to rely upon what is within. It worked out beautifully for me and for some others I know, but it can be a total disaster, too. One needs a very strong spirit to accept huge changes.

Yes! I'm a worker of the church so we do missions and training outside the city. And when you're in training, your comfort will naturally be taken from you. You're away from home, your bed, your pillow and the things that you want. For me, comfort zone is not only my home but also my habits. When I'm very good in doing a particular thing then suddenly I will be put to another area and do a different thing then I'm already taken out of my comfort zone.

Yes i am out away from my home. i really miss my home food it was so good, there was variety, here it is tasteless food.get same thing most of the time.its irritating i am student yet not started to earn will start next year hopefully.but i also get problems for money as it delays sometimes, then i have to survive hard times. sometimes i have to sacrifice many things as i dont have much money. i even get experience from different people, you cant believe anyone, they will take you for granted, use you. and then trash you . life is not much easy but it is not too difficult too. you learn to adjust with difficult times too. and life ofcourse teaches you many things. :) happy mylotting
