Be Comfortable with Discomfort

Juliana Rhavin P. Zorilla

Each of us have what we call “comfort zone”, a place where you can feel safe and free,

however staying here does not make any good thing to you. This zone is your enemy, it gives

you more and more discomfort because you only live in limitations. So, if you want to reach

what you aspire, you must start getting comfortable of being uncomfortable, because growth and

comfort does not exist together. Allow yourself from experiencing what you are not used to and

challenge yourself, because this will make you grow. Always remember that learning to be

comfortable with discomfort, will be your key to greatness and success.

In our society today, we have two kinds of people, those who face the uncomfortable and

avoid the uncomfortable. People who choose to live their lives with comfort are those who

struggle more, they receive more problems, issues, and fear because they are not letting

themselves go out of their shell and beyond it. But those people who choose to face the

uncomfortable and be comfortable with it, reaches their highest potentials, and most likely, these

people became stronger and wiser in dealing with life challenges. Moreover, between this two,

one path can drive you to success and the other path in constant pain and discomfort.

Nothing great comes from the position of comfort. You should push yourself even if you

feel tired and your mind repeats on saying “give up”, because the only way to reach what you

want for starts from what you do for it to come true. More than that, you should be willing to

make hard decisions, feel pressured, feel embarrassed and feel ashamed because these things will

make you grow, and you can only have this, if you accept the feeling of being uncomfortable.
Therefore, you should let yourself get used to facing struggles, since if you continue doing it,

you start to get comfortable with how it works.

Living your life with discomfort will throw all your limitations away. Once you allow

yourself from being uncomfortable, you start to explore and be motivated to never quit and never

let anyone to bring what you have started to fall. More so, life will see changes in you and will

start to support you as well. Life will introduce you knew things that can bring you to the next

level, while all your fear and limits will fall apart and eventually be non- existent anymore. This

just tells that living an uncomfortable life will open doors for you which can slowly bring you to

a new and different place where there are no forces that can pull you down.

Generally, what brings you comfort can ruin you and what brings you discomfort makes

you grow, so start getting comfortable of being uncomfortable. Take this challenge and let

yourself be surrounded by greatness, and new things that can bring you to the next level.

Eventually, you’ll see how you develop into a person that you have always wanted to become.
