There’s no shortage of writing out there about the importance of being uncomfortable. It’s a sign of progress. It stretches us. It’s the gap between where we are and where we want to be.
But most people forget how debilitating it is to be in an ongoing absolute state of discomfort.
I’ll be the first to admit that you can be comfortable and be moving toward discomfort at the same time.
Example? My company just held a Revenue Kick Off meeting. While it was work, it was inspiring, validating, informational and motivating. It was comfortable. But all the comfort had purpose; its purpose was to help everyone move faster toward discomfort and through it.
By all means, ensure there’s some comfort in your life, but when you do, it’s important that the goal of it is to move toward discomfort. Anything short of that is merely a set back, hiding, and being comfortable because, well…it’s comforting.
