Train your mind to question comfort before it questions your potential.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Comfort is rarely questioned because it does not announce itself as a decision. It just quietly shortens the list of things you consider, until your sense of what is possible has shrunk to fit what is easy. Meanwhile potential gets interrogated constantly, asked to prove itself before it is allowed a single attempt. The scrutiny is pointed at the wrong thing.

Turn the questions around this week. Instead of asking whether you could really do something difficult, ask what a particular comfort is costing you. Apply the same suspicion to the easy option that you normally reserve for the ambitious one.
