discomfort

Was talking a friend the other day (hi friend!) and remembered this:
Discomfort isn't bad or to be avoided. Discomfort, whether physical or emotional or mental, is just an indicator that there's something we should look at or check out. Discomfort is actually exciting, because it means we have a real growth opportunity!
So next time you're uncomfortable, try thinking "Sweet! I have a great chance to learn something here!" instead of "Aw crud, this stinks, how am I gonna make this horrible feeling go away?" That's what I plan anyway... I'm actually looking forward to the next time I feel uncomfortable about something, because I am excited to keep learning and growing!
