Comfort will ruin you

Email is on the way out. Gambling that text lists replace email lists.

What makes us comfortable is ruining us as we speak.

What makes us uncomfortable is the only thing that allows us to grow.

Like onions, there are layers to the first two statements.

Most of us are creatures of comfort.

We strive to make our living conditions comfortable. Nothing wrong with indoor plumbing and air-conditioning.

But what about our habits?

Avoiding risk, setting a low bar for achievement, believing balance is a myth, waiting to be picked.

Comfort provides stability, predictability, and well, comfort.

And it ruins us. Stagnates us. Destroys our growth.

Growth only occurs with discomfort.

Read that again, growth only occurs when we are out of our comfort zone.

You are welcome.

You will never

Make being out of your comfort zone your comfort zone.

You will never reach your potential, and discover your purpose, by staying in your comfort zone.

My life changed with this personal mantra.

Lean into discomfort.

It’s called our comfort zone for a reason

i remind our Son (17) of this frequently…

The paradox of dreaming is that our dreams turn out worse than or better than we expect.

No one has a crystal ball to get it just right.

What works comfortably for us also blinds us to what’s possible.

It’s called our comfort zone for a reason.

To add fuel to the fire for maintaining our status quo is the insidious way our past and our present rob us of what’s possible.

The watering hole for our discomfort

Randy's Donuts
Randy’s friends probably thought he was crazy.

 

Nothing special, remarkable, or stunning happens within our comfort zone.

And we know this.

There is one exception.

The exception is when we make our comfort zone a matter of (always) looking forward to being uncomfortable.

This is where growth, confidence, discovery, joy, and freedom gather for camaraderie.
