I think there's a definite difference between stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something that has no opinion, purpose or plan. For me, stepping out of the comfort zone is about having a plan, knowing what the goal is in the next journey, what I have to trade, if I lose that, I still feel satisfied or happy. Is it safe,...
