Lean into Discomfort for 2022 and Beyond
With 2022 around the corner, choose the more difficult option. Don’t take the easy way out.
Every day, life puts us in front of these little crossroads — decisions about how to do things and what things to do.
Often, the choice is between a hard thing and an easier thing.
🙈 Should you pick up the phone and have a difficult conversation or leave it to an email?
🙈 Should you apologize and take responsibility or hope it goes unnoticed?
🙈 Should you get up early or hit the snooze button?
🙈 Should you read a few pages or scroll social media?
🙈 Should you do that thing that needs to be done or push it off another day?
At all of these little crossroads, you know exactly which way to go: with the option that challenges you more.
We must take this to heart today and every day. We must get in the habit of choosing the more difficult option. Seeking out the challenge.
✌️ Leaning into discomfort.
✌️Iron sharpens iron.
You’ll be better for it — not only for the improvement that comes from getting to the other side of a challenge but for the willpower you are developing by choosing that option on purpose.
