Do you have what it takes to go through&nbsp;it?</p><p>Growth almost always lies in the discomfort.<br> The more tolerance someone has being uncomfortable, the more they got the potential to&nbsp;grow. </p> <p>That also means, unfortunately, if you&rsquo;re comfortable in your current situation, you&rsquo;re stagnant; not growing. As change is the only constant in life, the above means, in actuality you&rsquo;re in&nbsp;decline. </p> <p>Resting, uninvested money get devalued with inflation. Resting gold gets targeted by miscreants.<br> Body decides to reduce unused muscles (mass, strength) and bones (density) and start accumulating fat instead.<br> Not-growing relationships get stale. Dead bedroom, barely held together by the responsibility of kids.<br> Skills get rusty very quickly. Stop speaking your mother tongue for a year and you&rsquo;ll be hardly able to speak&nbsp;later. </p> <p>Keep investing, diversified <span class="amp">&amp;</span> informed.<br> Keep moving, growing muscle <span class="amp">&amp;</span> strength.<br> Keep loving, bring surprise <span class="amp">&amp;</span> fun.<br> Keep learning, new tricks <span class="amp">&amp;</span>&nbsp;frameworks. </p> <p>Stay uncomfortable.
