Delaying discomfort is a losing strategy and I’ll explain why.

(🧵👉🏼)
There’s nothing you can do about the presence of discomfort in your life.

But you can choose a lot about how you’re uncomfortable and why you’re uncomfortable.
Positive people either choose the discomfort of pushing for better attitudes and higher standards . . .

Or they accept the discomfort of allowing negativity to thrive around them and eventually take hold inside them.
People who avoid discomfort paradoxically create more of it.
Personal discomfort can be delayed but it’s just not smart.

Delaying discomfort only makes it deeper and harder to climb out.
Trying to constantly escape any kind of discomfort only deepens anxiety because it’s impossible.
Discomfort can be:
• The building block of growth
• The pit of despair

You make the difference by:
• Which discomfort you choose
• Why
• What it produces for you
Remember:

Discomfort can’t be escaped. It can only be transferred to another area of your life.

Choose your discomfort with discipline and make it work for you not against you.
