How Can Discomfort Propel Us Towards Our Goals?

<p>Think for a moment about the greatest accomplishments in your life. Chances are &nbsp;it doesn't take much scrutiny to see where discomfort had some hand in the &nbsp;outcome. Even the birth of a baby requires a certain degree of pain. But ask the &nbsp;woman who'd struggled for years to have a child if the pain was worth it, and &nbsp;you'd get a resounding 'yes!' &nbsp;Discomfort is, at its heart, a hard push away from where you are. It's the impetus &nbsp;that drives you toward change. Think about this: Discomfort Allows You to See New Possibilities When you’ve grown stagnant, stuck where you are, discomfort gives you an itchy &nbsp;feeling of wanting something different in your life. When you start looking around &nbsp;for what satisfies this itch, you discover new interests and ideas, things which in &nbsp;turn spark you back to life. Discomfort Helps You Discover Connections to What You Know Discomfort urges you to find solutions when a problem arises, tugging at halfformed ideas and hypotheses. Because this problem needs solving, this &nbsp;discomfort arises in the form of whispers in your mind of, "I can do that. I know &nbsp;how to solve this problem." Discomforts Sets Your Dreams on Fire At some point, it's not enough to make goals or imagine pretty dreams. &nbsp;Discomfort comes in the form of dissatisfaction, the constant questioning of "Why &nbsp;aren't I doing this yet?" It nudges you until you cannot be satisfied by anything &nbsp;less than trying out your ideas to see if you can make them happen. &nbsp;Discomfort Underscores Boredom A break, or even a long vacation, is a wonderful thing. At some point, though, discomfort makes even your favorite things feel dull and uninteresting.</p> <p>Future Guests: Jay Shetty Gary Vee Dave Ramsey Howard Behar Eagles Chiefs Sean Payton&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/support</a>
