It's known that an average life exists in the comfort zone.  

 

And it is known that when you live in discomfort, your body will do everything it can to avoid this space. 

 

The truth is, discomfort is where the growth aoccurs for most human beings. 

 

Think about the last tie you lost love. 

 

Lost money. 

 

Lost friends. 

 

Think about your childhood.  

 

Was it good, or was it uncomfortable. 

 

I've lived many lives of discomfort. 

 

At 18, I got my first apartment. 

 

Ten months later, the cops kicked open the door and took me to jail. 

 

Jail was uncomfortable. 

 

I had no furniture in my apartment and really had none when I got locked up. 

 

When I was married 3 times before and got divorced, I felt the discomfort. 

 

In each and every one of those situations, I used the discomfort of discomfort to make new way. 

 

I worked harder. 

 

Worked longer than everyone else. 

 

And guess what?

 

I won.  

 

Last weekend, my 2nd oldest and I mowed 10 acres. 

 

Sure, I can afford to hire soemone, but Im teaching my kids about life and how it woks by staying in the discomfort zone. 

 

It's the only way growth happens. 

 

I still got to the gym and work my body daily. 

 

I still do yardwork. 

 

I do chores around the house. 

 

I work later and longer at work. 

 

Why? 

 

In my experience, discomfort keeps me sharp and continuously evolving. 

 

Figure out what you want. 

 

It's waiting for you in the discomfort zone.
