Expectations and my comfortzone

Prompt: When you expect things to happen--strangely enough-- they do happen. ~ J.P. Morgan. Do you agree or disagree? Is this a norm in your life? Or do you fly by the seat of your pants? (BCoFs)

My sister, who is a Buddhist, would say: Throw it into the Universe and the Universe will answer. Expectation generates things to happen that is for sure. It leads to a chain reaction that sometimes is what you’d expect. But Life can also be very surprising indeed. I find living or flying by the seat of my pants very appealing since that entails more surprises, but ignorance has its side effects too. You can become a toy in Life’s game and we won’t want that either.

Prompt: What are your feelings about your comfort zone? Could you be happy to be living inside your comfort zone forever or would stepping out of it, at least once in a while, provide you with renewed energy and inspiration?(BC)

Since the past ten years I live inside my comfort zone, partly because I like it and it is convenient, partly because I can protect myself that way. But stepping outside your comfort zone is sometimes necessary to give Life renewed energy and oomph. It can shake things up and cause new things to emerge. Taking on this new librarian job I had an interview for today will hopefully provide that for me. I am craving for something new in my life, so I am expecting a lot from it. Also at WdC I am experimenting with different genres to write which is outside my comfort zone and I am having a lot of fun.
