Discomfort Leads to Growth
Hello Champion:
You have your sights set on a goal. You are putting in the effort required to get to where you want to be.
But what happens when you need to make an adjustment? You may have to make a sacrifice that on the surface has no relation to your plans but in the long run is necessary to help propel you towards your ultimate goal.
Everything that we do in life is not going to be fun, exciting, or related to our ultimate goal. That is why it is crucial that we get comfortable feeling uncomfortable in order to experience growth.
Persevering through challenging responsibilities, while understanding that these circumstances will not last forever, but it does build mental toughness. This will benefit you on your quest towards your ultimate goal.
At some point in life, everyone will spend time being uncomfortable. Whether it be a stepping-stone job, a mandatory class, or joining a new team. These times will be frustrating, but they will not last.
Remember, everything in life is temporary and you can always pivot.

Here are three tips to help you get through difficult times:
Accept your current state: Feeling bad about your circumstances will only make the situation worse.
Decide to do your best: Bringing a positive attitude to the situation will increase your ability to thrive in it.
Stay patient: These circumstances will not last forever, do your best until you are no longer in that position.
Remember, we all go through challenges in life. These circumstances will pass by and multiple your growth in the long run. Always choose to believe the best is yet to come!
