Growth requires discomfort

2023-04-12T00:00:00+06:00

Growth almost always lies in the discomfort.
The more tolerance someone has being uncomfortable, the more they got the potential to grow.

That also means, unfortunately, if you’re comfortable in your current situation, you’re stagnant; not growing. As change is the only constant in life, the above means, in actuality you’re in decline.

Resting, uninvested money get devalued with inflation. Resting gold gets targeted by miscreants.
Body decides to reduce unused muscles (mass, strength) and bones (density) and start accumulating fat instead.
Not-growing relationships get stale. Dead bedroom, barely held together by the responsibility of kids.
Skills get rusty very quickly. Stop speaking your mother tongue for a year and you’ll be hardly able to speak later.

Keep investing, diversified & informed.
Keep moving, growing muscle & strength.
Keep loving, bring surprise & fun.
Keep learning, new tricks & frameworks.

Stay uncomfortable. Become invincible.

Control vs Agency - The chosen path

Most things are completely out of your control, but you have control over your action about them.
The second part is called “having agency”.

You can’t stop the sun from rising, but you can always get a pair of sunglasses.

You can’t do anything when it’s raining outside, but you can take an umbrella with you.
You have “zero” control over the economy, but have control over your spending & saving habits.
You don’t know when your heart gonna stop, but can try to eat healthy and do exercise.

You can’t tell when your employer is going to fire you, but can always prepare for the next interview.
You can’t make someone like you, but you can always love yourself and become the best version of yourself.

Focusing on the first will make you feel hopeless and frustrated. Every time.
Focusing on the second will make you feel fulfilled and grounded. Every time.

You have to choose over the other.
In the end, this is the decision that will define you.

Choose wisely.
