Growth is not gentle. It does not whisper softly while you remain seated in ease. It stretches and it's challenges, also it confronts. The desire to grow and the desire to remain comfortable cannot live in the same space for long. One will always overpower the other. If you choose comfort, growth will wait. If you choose growth, comfort will be disrupted.
Comfort feels safe. It feels predictable. It protects your ego from failure and shields you from the risk of embarrassment. But comfort also limits your capacity. It keeps your potential dormant and your abilities underdeveloped. Nothing extraordinary is built in a place where there is no tension, no stretching, no demand for more. Just as muscles only strengthen when they are pushed beyond their usual limits, your character, skill, and resilience only expand when challenged.
