THE UPSIDE OF UNCOMFORTABLE

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. The upside of uncomfortable is personal growth. It’s uncomfortable to test your mettle beyond known capability because you risk failure. It takes wisdom and courage to be willing to learn from failures.

  2. Every worthwhile and meaningful experience in life requires challenge and discomfort.

  2. “We are living progressively sheltered, sterile, temperature-controlled, overfed, under-challenged, safety-netted lives.” —Michael Easter (The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort to Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self)
