Comfort is killing your progress
If it feels easy, you’re probably not growing

If it’s not uncomfortable, it’s not growth.
Comfort feels nice, but it’s where ambition goes to die.
Growth lives in awkward conversations, risky moves, and doing things you currently suck at.
Most people avoid discomfort like it’s danger.
But the real danger? Staying the same for another year.
The truth:
Discomfort is a compass, not a warning sign
The more often you feel it, the more you’re probably on the right path
Numbness is a red flag—it means you’ve stopped evolving
I used to bail the second something felt off.
New project? If it didn’t feel easy, I’d “wait till later.”
Then I realized: all my best breakthroughs came right after I almost talked myself out of something.
It’s not supposed to feel smooth.
It’s supposed to stretch you.
So stop asking “Does this feel right?”
Start asking “Is this challenging me?”
Pick one thing this week that makes your stomach drop.
Say yes. Do it messy. Let it scare you a little.
You don’t need more ease. You need more edge.
What uncomfortable move are you avoiding that you know would level you up?
Cut the fluff. Chase the discomfort.
