Deep down you already know this, we all do. But we all seek comfort. Feeling good all the time. Having it just a little bit easier today than we had it yesterday is our goal. The problem with this strategy is, that it doesn’t work.
Our true happiness and achieving potential requires doing the uncomfortable work. It requires a pain. The good kind of pain. The good kind of stress. Some call it eu stress. Sooner you realize this the better. Otherwise, you’ll live a miserable life full of what ifs.
I am not making this up. This is a fact. Try to relocate to the tropical island to the luxury resort, where you have everything and more of everything. All the luxuries of life and everything is there without you making any effort. And you don’t have to think and move. All is required is to enjoy your life.
Guess what. Not even one month later you will be completely bored out of your mind and miserable. You’ll hate everything including yourself. Comfort is really not what you seek. Yes, we want it, but once we gain it we realize it’s not the answer. One of the most misserable people i know are those who have it all. They live very comfortable lifestyles. And they seek even more comfort. Every little bit extra of it.
Our bodies and minds were mend to struggle and grow and suffer in a good positive way. And this is where learning, intensive learning of new things, moving, exercising and facing our true fears comes in. And if you manage to force yourself to get out of your comfortable zone on a very regular basis, you’ll achieve the true flow of life. So, I don’t care how comfortable you are right know, what you don’t have to do anymore, and how you already made it. It doesn’t matter. We are not done until the last breath leaves our lungs.
