Episode 42: Why Leaving Our Comfort Zone Is Such A Hard Thing To Do | Jom Sembang, Malaysia

from Jom Sembang, Malaysia · host Juwita Suwito and Gina Yap Lai Yoong

It’s easy to get into a routine, to enjoy what we do and excel in it, and simply be comfortable where we are in life. Yet sometimes, in that familiar comfort, lies a question – could there be more to life than this? Most of us are afraid to leave our comfort zone because it creates uncertainty, anxiety and maybe pain. Yet as humans, we crave for growth because growth is the sustenance of our journey. In today’s episode, we chat with Soul Prince of Borneo – Pete Kallang – about his journey in leaving his comfort zone and stepping into a bigger city to explore possibilities beyond his wildest dreams. We also discuss the familiar growing pains of taking such a leap of faith. This episode is powered by Studio 21:05.
