Colin O’Brady Instagram – We spend our time fearful of experiencing discomfort, but what if instead, we chose to fear living in the zone of comfortable complacency every day? What if what we really should be afraid of is the baseline condition of “just fine” and “okay” or “good enough”? I’m sorry, but “good enough” is just not good enough. Not for me. Not for you. Feeling alive in moments of pain is far more interesting than just existing in the numbness of the middle. It’s fine to visit your comfort zone from time to time. In fact, it’s necessary — to refresh, recharge, refocus. But let’s be clear: Growth happens outside the comfort zone. It happens in that insanely cramped stern cabin in the middle of an unrelenting storm. It happens when you risk everything to start your own business. It happens when you step back and watch your daughter cross the street by herself for the very first time. It happens when you embrace a Possible Mindset by leaving behind the zone of comfortable complacency and entering more dangerous waters, telling yourself that the discomfort you’re taking on can be navigated and that the greatness you seek does lie up ahead.
