Comfort is killing us slowly.
It starts with the snooze button, ends with a life half-lived.
The Stoics practiced voluntary discomfort to sharpen their resolve.
I’m not comparing a cold shower to a Roman campaign, but the principle stands.
I wake before dawn.
I eat simple meals.
I train even when I don’t feel like it – not to impress anyone.
To remind myself that I am stronger than my excuses.
Want to change your life?
Do something hard.
Every day.
