Belief - Day 9: Strength or comfort?

Strength is built through discomfort. Strength is lost, and weakness grows, through comfort. A real and permanent relationship exists between strength/weakness and discomfort/comfort. Strength requires discomfort. Weakness forms from too much comfort.

Don’t misunderstand or abuse this relationship. Not all discomfort creates strength. Not all comfort creates weakness. Use good judgment. Consider scale, intensity, and frequency.

But the relationship and the reality is reliable. Getting stronger, in anything, has to happen in part by exposing yourself to discomfort. Don’t chase comfort. Chase strength and embrace discomfort.

Do the work.
