Comfort

Too much comfort leads to atrophy. Atrophy leads to weakness, illness, and psychological malaise.

Avoiding discomfort makes sense as a human but prevents progress and paves the way to stagnation. 

Growth takes effort, action, discomfort, and time.  Short-term discomfort is a small price to pay for the upside.  Unfortunately, the reward is invisible at first glance.

Comfort choices are a trap.  They accrue and will always bite you but almost never in the short term.  They go undetected until you get sick, divorced, fat, addicted, stressed, depressed, or broke.  

Gradually, then all at once.  

Pro Tip: God doesn’t command us to do what is naturally easy.

PS Ben Franklin wrote a funny piece about this. Enjoy 😊
