Comfort feels good but teaches little. The exercises that feel easy build nothing. The conversations that require no courage change nothing. The work that demands no stretch develops nothing.
Growth lives at the uncomfortable edge. The slightly-too-hard challenge. The conversation you would rather avoid. The skill you are not good at yet. This is where development happens.
Seek the productive discomfort. Not suffering for its own sake, but the specific discomfort that signals growth. Learn to recognize it as progress rather than punishment.
What productive discomfort are you avoiding?
