What we want in life is usually waiting for us on the other side of discomfort.

We say we want it. We start working toward it. Then discomfort shows up. 

It takes longer than expected.

We have to be more vulnerable than we planned.

We have to show up in new ways that feel unnatural.

This is where most people back away. Not because we can’t handle it. Because we choose comfort over commitment.

The question isn’t:  “What does it take to get through discomfort?” 

The question is: “Am I willing to stay uncomfortable long enough to get what I say I want?”

If it were comfortable, it wouldn’t require anything of us. It wouldn’t demand that we become someone new. And becoming someone new is the whole point.
