It would be much better for us to just do what we want to in the moment, even if it means leaving our comfort zone, assuming that it wouldn't hurt ourselves or others. That sounds like a good strategy to me. I guess people usually do repeat the same behavior patterns that put them back inside their comfort zone (they give up too quickly for one thing). It is very true that you need to know what all your options are, which you will never learn by "staying home", in order to choose the best one. It is a releif to know that we can indeed come back home if that turns out to be the best option.
