Find friction and face it

A frictionless environment won’t produce great outcomes.

You may not want friction, but you need it—the right kind and the right amount. You learn by feeling friction and learning how to work through it.

It builds strength like muscles, sharpens skills like knives, and carves character like marble.

The friction to eliminate is at the entry, not in the work. Friction in the work must stay. Grease the skids through the doorway. Get started. Get going. Get doing.

Then, put yourself into the friction that will mold you into the person you want to become. Everyone who became great got there because of how they responded to friction, not because they avoided it.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
