Your Comfort Zone (part 3 of 4)

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Psalms 143:8 We all have met people who are more comfortable tinkering with things in the kitchen than mingling with guests in the living room. We all know people who can get very excited about ideas and books, but who seem to have few social skills and even fewer abilities to deal with tools and gadgets. Some people care very little about people or ideas but are quite at home experimenting in their labs, sketching at a drawing table, or concocting new creations at the kitchen stove. This affinity is called the comfort zone. In what setting do you feel the greatest sense of pleasure, satisfaction, and ease. The 3 primary comfort zones are people, ideas, and things. Today we will explore the world of people whose comfort zone is “things”. The person who has a comfort zone of things is likely to feel emotionally at home tinkering in the workshop, sitting at the sewing machine, or working on the family car. A person with an affinity for things is often restless or uncomfortable unless he is doing something, generally involving the sense of touch or the use of hands. Such a person loves the feel of metal, wood, fabric, soil, or objects. S/he finds satisfaction in seeing something take shape, produce a physical or materials result, or be fixed and put into good working order. Those with the affinity for things enjoy being with other people only if the group is actively engaged in a task that has a strong tangible component, such as building a house. Ideas are only important to this type of person if they are directly related to something that is practical or tangible. “Things” also include animals; those with this affinity enjoy grooming, riding, working with, and handling animals. “Things” can also include plants. Individuals with this comfort zone often work as product designers, craftsmen, construction workers, engineers, tailors, chefs, or model builders. They also make excellent landscape architects, farmers, naturalists, florists, and veterinarians. Your comfort zone defines who you are and how you interact with your world around you.
