"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." - Neale Donald Walsch
Discomfort is unpleasant.
It is confronting.
It manifests nervousness.
Anxiety.
Fear.
Discomfort manifests these things in your mind - if you allow it to.
Discomfort also leads to growth.
To learning.
To development.
To breaking barriers.
To overcoming fears.
Pressure builds diamonds.
Comfort feels great.
It feels safe.
Like a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winters night.
Comfort is also stagnation.
Choosing comfort is being content with not moving forward.
Not growing.
Not improving.
Content with the current state.
Acclimatise yourself with discomfort.
Embrace it.
Turn discomfort into comfort.
Continually challenge yourself.
Live purposefully.

Strive to live, live to strive.
