Paradoxically, chasing comfort in an effort to avoid the anxiety of discomfort might end up causing more anxiety. Comfort as an achievement is an illusion.

Rather than avoiding discomfort or numbing the suffering, accept that it is a necessary part of life, and in doing so, you'll find relief and peace.-------------------------------------Link to this blog post: https://medium.com/the-ascent/comfort-is-why-youll-never-grow-983af6bdfc08Subscribe to get your free list of 11 Emotional Resiliency exercises and to get updates on this podcast and blog at http://victorung.com/subscribe.Become a Patron to support this content: http://patreon.com/humanup.Clap for me on my blog on Medium: http://medium.com/@victorung. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/victorung/message
