Part 3/8:
The first step toward growth is to thrust yourself into discomfort. You must embrace being uncomfortable as a necessary part of the growth process. Comfort is the enemy of progress; when life is too comfortable, it often signals that you're no longer evolving. The best versions of ourselves reside on the other side of our fears and the discomfort we encounter.
The most successful individuals are not those who avoid struggle but those who actively seek it out. Set your goals and recognize that you need to replace feelings of complacency with challenge. Only by learning to manage peaks and troughs can you maintain continual upward movement.
