Most people will think this only applies to young adults as they move fully into adulthood. But our homes are safe havens too and for that reason we can take too much comfort living there. We can struggle to do other things in life as a result. We don’t want to change jobs, take up employment, take a chance on joining  a club, saying yes to new friendships. That nest we’ve built has become comfortable and we don’t want to disrupt it in case we disturb our status quo. But we need to. We need that push out of our nest. Sometimes that pressure can come from an external force as well as an internal one. Either way we need that push in order to grow.
