Are you comfortable?

Then you are not growing.

One thing I have learned about myself is to be comfortable with being uncomfortable because that means I am learning something new and growing.

Sure, I get irritable, nervous, and maybe anxious but that is because I am supposed to.

I spent many years avoiding these emotions because they were uncomfortable.

Then there was a period when my life was stagnant, unfulfilling, and depressing.

After reflecting on my circumstances I realized that it was because I was not challenging myself to learn and do new things, whether in relationships, my career, or my free time.

I learned that those emotions are uncomfortable if I let them be, or I can get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Challenging myself to do things that I have never done before allows me to learn more about myself and what I am capable of, which turns out to be so much more than I ever thought.
