You see, attempting to leave your comfort zone and evolve into the person you want to become is like putting a stake in the ground that represents your old self, throwing a rubber band around it, stepping into the open loop, and trying to sprint as far away from the stake as fast as you can with the rubber band around your waist. If you sprint away from your current self too fast, the tension between who you currently are and who you want to become becomes so unbearable, that you’re snapped back hard into your old self.
