Growth is uncomfortable

If you want to get better at something, it’s going to be uncomfortable.

Why?

Because growth and comfort can’t co-exist.

When you think of something you feel comfortable with, what are you really saying?

You’re saying that you’re content with it. That your present skills or state is something that feels safe and secure.
