How hard is it to overcome a displacement? It is very hard or it can be very easy for some people. Well, it’s all part of human growth. It’s maturity. It’s the feeling of being uncomfortable. It’s all natural. It changes our perspective. We all experience these type of moments. You will be lost sometimes but it’s all part of your learning experience. Displacement is a force that will bring down your confidence. You will fall down. Now it’s your turn to deal with it. We all heard the phase “trust the process”. Success is all part of the process that you trust in the beginning. At the end of the day, success comes from being comfortable with being uncomfortable. The reason behind this is because if you are always in your comfort zone, you will never grow, never mature, and most importantly it’s a failure. You will not notice the potential you might have if you stay in your comfort zone. We all get bored of doing the same thing everyday. If you want something that you never had then you have to do something that you have never done before. Back in high school, I usually play games in my spare time. But I also wanted to buy a camera but I didn’t have money so I applied for an internship. I was accepted to intern at a hotel in the city. It was my first ever internship. I was displaced in my first week. I didn’t like working 6 hour a day and 5 days a week. However, I gradually adapted to being comfortable with being uncomfortable. After my internship was over, I was able to buy myself a camera. In addition, the camera introduced me to something new. I got into photography and film after I got my camera. The camera changed my perspective of the world. I was able to get out of my comfort zone and meet a lot of professional creators through social media and meetups. This goes back to displacement. If you want to overcome displacement, it’s all about your ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

  1. I love that you shared a personal story of displacement. We all go through this in our life one time or another. It’s very easy to feel displaced when you are trying to find or fulfill your interests. Stepping out of our comfort zone may also make us feel displaced but eventually one day, we are all bound to find our comfort place. I often see displacement as a negative thing but it’s also cool to not just have that one place where you are comfortable but have many places.
