🌳 If you want to grow, make yourself uncomfortable.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

In simple terms, there is a fine line between greatness and madness, the majority of the time they are actually disordered. Was Einstein considered mad or a genius in his time? Something to consider.

IF YOU WANT TO GROW, HIT ROCK BOTTOM

This is a weird one, it sounds very contradictive although there's an important lesson behind it, the most dangerous place to be in life isn't at rock bottom, it isn't reaping off success, it's slap bang in the middle. The most dangerous position to be in life is average, not the best but not uncomfortable enough to want to change.

Change is typically driven by discomfort, being fatter than you want to, being poorer than you want to, being in an unhappy relationship. Discomfort is what lights the fire to make a change and if you're slap bang in the middle 'alright' then you feel no need to make a change and that's what's dangerous because if that’s the case you don’t grow, you don’t achieve excellence, chase ambitions you stay where you are because there’s no knife poking your back making you walk the plank.

If you want to grow in anything you have to first see the potential of what could become, run the scenario through your head of meeting your future self, the future self that achieved everything they set out to and became the very best version of themself and secondly put yourself in a position where you're too uncomfortable to stay as you are. Doing this you will see improvement like no other.

You may see this in your own life. You may not feel the need to change physically or financially as you’re ‘doing okay’ however you’re well aware that you’re not at your full potential. You know you could be more and be achieving more, have a better physique or be making more money but nothing will push you until you realise what you could become if you just made those changes and changed your standard to what’s comfortable.

You see once you have your dream physique and you’re making £10,000 a month you won’t go back from that. You can’t and you won’t as if you do, you’re underachieving in your own metrics.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Don't go and ruin your life to improve but make micro-adjustments, if your dad-bod is 'not too bad' make it bad and watch the fire relight within you. This goes for everything.

TAKEAWAYS:

You can set your own standard, where you are comfortable and if you set that high enough and keep increasing it then you’re guaranteed to grow.
