Embrace discomfort as a sign that you're growing and stretching yourself from "summary" of Do More Great Work by Michael Bungay Stanier
When you push yourself to try new things, to step into the unknown, it's natural to feel uncomfortable. That feeling of discomfort is actually a positive sign that you're growing and expanding your capabilities. It means you're moving beyond your comfort zone, taking on challenges that will help you develop new skills and insights. Embracing that discomfort is essential if you want to reach your full potential and do more great work.
It's easy to fall into the trap of sticking with what's familiar and comfortable. But if you want to break free from the status quo and achieve something truly remarkable, you have to be willing to embrace the discomfort that comes with growth and change. Instead of shying away from challenges, lean into them. Recognize that feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of the growth process, a sign that you're pushing yourself to new heights.
When you feel uncomfortable, it's tempting to retreat back to familiar territory, to avoid the risks and uncertainties that come with trying something new. But if you can push through that discomfort and stay committed to your growth journey, you'll be amazed at the rewards that await you on the other side. Embrace the discomfort as a signal that you're on the right track, that you're challenging yourself in ways that will ultimately lead to greater success and fulfillment.
Remember, growth never happens in your comfort zone. It's only when you step outside of what feels safe and familiar that you truly begin to stretch yourself and reach new levels of achievement. So the next time you feel that twinge of discomfort, that sense of unease that comes with trying something new, don't shy away from it. Instead, see it as a sign that you're on the path to doing more great work.
