I really love the message in this article. It sounds severe, but discomfort is actually your best friend in life.
👉 You Will Not Grow Until You Learn to Tolerate Discomfort
I have found this to be more and more true the older I get, to the point where if things are very easy or comfortable for too long, it sort of terrifies me. It is the first sign of your downfall. 🤷🏻♂️
Embracing discomfort and seeing it as your friend allows you to shed fear and enjoy the feeling of progress. It lets you learn to play guitar or programming, it lets you take a chance with someone, it lets you find new ways to be happy and fit, it lets you be shed stale thinking.
When we are in pain, discomfort heightens and communicates. When we are making progress, discomfort peaks and recedes, and clarity washes over us.
PS I told my kid the other day that discomfort grows you, before I even read this article. She said that sounded like something I would read. 😂
