Ice keeps your drink cold and slowly makes it weaker. Some comforts cost you strength over time.
CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
Comfort can cost you strength quietly. Ice does its job and the drink gets colder and weaker at the same time, and you notice the cold immediately and the dilution only at the end. Several good things work this way. A friend who always agrees with you, a familiar routine, staying in the easy class. None of it is harmful on any given day, and over a long enough run it waters you down.
Name one comfort you have leaned on for months. Go without it once this week, not as punishment, just to see what is underneath.
