Run From Discomfort

Good Morning and happy Friday!

Being uncomfortable is easy to avoid. It's human nature to seek stability. But here's the thing: a lot of people aren't okay with being uncomfortable, and that's what holds them back.

Comfort isn’t about avoiding discomfort altogether. It's about building resilience. The path to real comfort involves experiencing discomfort and growing from it.

Imagine you're at the gym for the first time. The weights are heavy, the exercises are unfamiliar, and your muscles ache. It's uncomfortable. But that discomfort is what literally helps you get stronger. The same principle applies to life. Whether it’s a new job, a difficult conversation, or learning a new skill, the initial discomfort is a sign of growth.

The misconception is that comfort means an easy, smooth path. In reality, comfort is earned by embracing the uncomfortable moments. It's about making mistakes and learning from them. Each time we step out of the norm, we expand it a little more, making us more resilient.

If you find yourself shying away from discomfort, remember that it's a necessary part of this journey. You don’t need to seek out discomfort for its own sake, but don’t let the fear of discomfort prevent you from pursuing what you truly want.
