I found all of this so fascinating and helpful living in such tumultuous times.

"Discomfort Resilience refers to the capacity to lean into discomfort with an interest in the growth to be gleaned from pain or difficulty. Getting comfortable with discomfort is a prerequisite for developing self- awareness and insight because it means we seek out and attend to the aspects of ourselves and our world that we find painful. We can develop curiosity about suffering instead of feeling defeated by it. Discomfort resilience enables us to experience joy from the pain of resisting negative influences.

It takes courage to treat ourselves and one another with fierce compassion, and it takes discomfort resilience to receive it graciously.

Fierce compassion is rooted in respect for the inherent dignity and inestimable possibility of one’s own life and that of others, and a desire to see that dignity and possibility triumph.

The fiercely compassionate mindset/heartset that we cultivate bolsters our ability to grow from pain and difficulty. As we grow fierce compassion that is resilient, all of life’s experiences become fields of learning where we can harvest joy.

"no matter what one changes, the world will never get any better as long as people themselves . . . remain selfish and lacking in compassion. In that respect, human revolution is the most fundamental of all revolutions, and at the same time, the most necessary revolution for humankind."

Fierce compassion is a growth-oriented approach to self-care. We grow discomfort resilience by leaning into the pain in our lives with an intention to grow our strength, courage, and wisdom.

There is no suffering that is not fertile soil for growth if we have the resources to transmute the pain into wisdom, which in turn helps us lead more meaningful lives. However, we often lack guidance or the internal, to be sustained by our natural habitat. Developing fierce compassion and discomfort resilience helps us build our internal and interpersonal compassion, which guide us as we transform pain into insight. Fierce compassion and discomfort resilience are our internal and relational resources for just, joyful living.

Cultivating resilience— and what is described in Joyfully Just as “discomfort resilience”— is also an emergent strategy that turns every difficulty into a source of possibility for generating more positive responses to injustice and the challenges of living.
