Comfort

Every single person seeks comfort in their life. Whether it's a pleasant job, nice people around or just position to sleep for the night. And if one finds it, he obviously feels happy. Of course, why not be happy when you do the job you like and feel comfortable in not to mention get money for doing it, have lovely people around you who cares, and even manage to find the most comfortable position to fall asleep in. What's not to be happy about?
But what bothers me is this widely known statement:
Maybe my understanding of comfort is a bit incorrect, but those two situations of comfort contradicts themselves. 
I know that statement about stepping out of comfort zone means you should do something eccentric, something that is unlikely to you but being happy about something you have and something you don't have is quite... strange? Also should it make me happy if my bed is my comfort zone and I stick my foot out over the edge? Because it sure doesn't feel any kind of positive.
What I'm trying (and probably failing) to say is our comfort and happiness is our individual business. Either it's having a lovely job or jumping out of a plane with a parachute, it's PERSONAL HAPPINESS. No-one should interfere without your permission. It's you who lives your life, you who lives your happiness! Make it worth it!
Let's stop here so we don't get any deeper and discover Atlantis or something ;)
