I don't think of these things. All I can see is a concept 'comfort zone' which is alien to my experience. But I am often in too deep and that is where the poster says life begins.
I suppose I could think:
Tosóidh an saol san áit a rachadsa as mo bhaint.
...but to me it is a way of saying the same thing... perhaps a little clearer...
Depends on whether I want to emphasise life or comfort zone more...
Tosóidh an saol san áit a rachadsa as mo bhaint.Does that mean literally - "life starts when I go further than my reach" ? I haven't heard "as mo bhaint" before.
Sounds good. I'm not clear myself how to say "comfort zone". It's always hard to translate idiomatic expressions.

That is closer to the literal meaning of what was wanted if you substitute sólás with sáimhín só.
Tosnaíonn an saol ar imeall mo sháimhín só.Great! I appreciate your input. Would others agree with this translation?
