STOP SEEKING DISCOMFORT

All over social media, you are seeing the phrase ‘you cant grow if you’re comfortable’

While that is very true, why do such a large number of the population never do anything about it?

By now you know me well enough to realise that my brain always thinks a little tooooo deep on these subjects, but I couldn’t help but wonder about this one for a while!

What I realised gave me this very refreshing outcome.

The only reason I’m sharing this with you today is because you already know what it is.

But you’ve been drowned by social medias never-ending waterfall of ‘this is what you NEED to get ahead, be successful’ jargon so i’m here to refresh your thinking.

In reality, ALL that is happening is simple evolution.

Think back to your grandparents’ time and slightly before that. People riding horses as the main form of transport, working on farms to feed their families. using pigeons to send nudes to husbands off fighting in war.

Nothing is different between then and now in terms of basic human needs but all that has happened is society has evolved. Cars, technology, travel.

Theres now so much more opportunity to BE so much more.

but how did we even get here?

The conclusion I came to is ADAPTATION.

As a race, we are constantly adapting to our surroundings. That’s what puts us at the top of the food chain and allows us to populate at this insane rate.

But can you adapt to things you already know?!

NO, YOU CANT.

But for us to become better functioning human beings (in all senses of the word) we must adapt!

You hear it in movies all the time - improvise adapt and overcome.

So when everyone is saying ‘seek discomfort. seek hardship. seek pain. because it will make you a better person’.

And basically no one apart from David Goggins is going to voluntarily do things they don’t want to do because they can’t SEE past the discomfort.

there’s now no way without force that people will do the hard things. You just don’t care enough. do you?!

But what if I told you that by consistently adapting to the ever-changing world we live in you’ll always be someone who stays on top and feels how they WANT to rather than WISHING things were different.

it seems to me that a lot more people would be willing to do what it takes to stay adapting without really questioning what it takes.

Regardless of what you do to put yourself in a better situation.

The Shit you’re gonna have to do is HARD! You’re not gonna enjoy every second of it. It’s going to take some serious decision-making and effort on your part.

But,

Because you know this adaptation HAS to happen! You’re way more inclined to do it to continue progressing rather than just thinking about how difficult life is and how seemingly impossible it is to get anywhere you want to go.

So my people, today's task is a simple one.

Using the theme of adaptation. remember what you wanted from this year (because we are almost a quarter of the way through).

Now write down what adaptations you have to go through to get you from where you are now to that goal before we see 2025.

Once you have written them down read over them and tell me (reply to this email or message me on IG) how hard they look to achieve.

This will have you eating discomfort for breakfast lunch and dinner.

I look forward to hearing about the adaptations you are going to make.
