Ep 87 Choose Discomfort Before it is Chosen For You

Life is going to be hard even if you make great decisions and have impeccable judgment, great support and relationships and discipline. Even if you have great privilege, and manage all of your risks, its going to be more difficult than you can imagine at some points. Hiding from difficulty and discomfort or believing it is somehow something you can transcend beyond on some magical day with some special strategy, is what leads to the deepest regrets and longest ruts of inaction, dissappointment, and discouragement.

The secret? Get better at enjoying and at suffering. Make more intentional choices to seek out and embrace difficulty. If and when it is not chosen or forced upon you, greet it properly, and remember that you still have choices on how you will respond to it. This way of growth is not just about tiptoeing outside of your comfort zone every once in a when it feels safe. Its insisting on leaving it on a daily basis, that leads to growth, enjoyment, connection, trust, understanding, and fulfillment. It also makes for the best stories and multiplies the life in your years, and the impact and influence you can have.
