Getting Uncomfortable on Purpose

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.
