How do we get out of our comfort zones?

There might not exist a single straight forward answer to this question but one sure way for creating a path out of our comfortable assumptions is to make errors, to be wrong. 

Being right keeps you in place. Being wrong forces you to explore. As William James put it, “The error is needed to set off the truth, much as a dark background is required for exhibiting the brightness of a picture.”
