Lean into discomfort

clothes for a suitcase
Will never again wear a business suit for a speech. Jeans, untucked shirt, possibly a jacket, and undoubtedly, running shoes.

Lean into discomfort means trying things that may not work.

Before you try something you have to think it up.

Lean into uncomfortable thoughts.

Particularly thoughts that come with no guarantee of working.

Thoughts that might get you laughed at, or ostracized.

Challenge like you mean it

jeff noel Disney speaker
Last year’s podcast art photo should be refreshed. Note to self.

Challenge like you mean it?

Do you?

Or do you hold back?

Maybe you should hold back because perhaps many in the audience aren’t ready.

But what about the ones who are ready?

Are you saying you deny those who are ready their opportunity to get exactly what they were hoping for just so that you can play it safe and not make the others feel uncomfortable because they’re not ready yet?

We finished season four yesterday at Walt Disney World.

If listening to If Disney Ran Your Life is optional, then attending a speech your boss made you go to isn’t optional.

Wouldn’t it be great if the same challenges i provide for volunteers i also provide for voluntolds?

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.

Leaning into discomfort is the only way.

The only way to what?

The only way to a meaningful life.

Leaning into discomfort is your only choice

Orlando motivational Speaker
Imagine a life of comfort.

 

No pain, no gain.

No gain, no growth.

No growth, then what?

Lean into discomfort.

It’s your only choice if you want freedom from regret.
