Know Where Growth Comes From (6/27/14)

As August 5th slowly grows closer and closer my anxiety level climbs higher and higher. If you want to experience great results you need to actively seek out opportunities like this. I’m not saying organize a 10 month road trip where you have to juggle finances, the timing of the weather, and the most efficient route possible…that would just be crazy. However, that feeling of anxiety that boils up from the pit of your stomach is exactly what you are looking for.

In order to thrive, at whatever it is you do, you need to be willing to take up residence in a town called uncomfortable. Uncomfortable lies just outside of your comfort zone, and it’s the place where growth originates. Your discomfort level comes from the fact that you’re weak at whatever makes you uncomfortable.

Fortunately if you are willing to actively work at being uncomfortable, just like any other muscle in your body, you will experience growth. Your comfort zone will grow, and the results you will be capable of achieving will too. With consistent growth what once would have petrified you with fear is now just a minor nuisance that you need to get accomplished before breakfast. The fastest road to success is getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
