There is a specific kind of safety found in the familiar, but I’ve realized that comfort can also be a cage. We often stay where we are because we’re afraid of the friction that comes with change, but we forget to fear the weight of unfulfilled potential. I’ve decided that I would much rather live in a state of constant stretching, feeling a bit out of my depth and a lot out of my comfort zone, than look back and realize I played it too safe. The “discomfort” of trying something new is temporary, but the “what ifs” of a life lived in the shadows of your own capabilities can last forever.
Growth and ease rarely coexist. If I’m feeling challenged, it’s because I’m moving. If I’m feeling uncertain, it’s because I’m exploring territory I haven’t conquered yet. I am choosing the uneasy path of becoming over the comfortable path of staying the same 🤍
