Why is acting in spite of discomfort so important? Because “comfortable” is where you’re at now. If you want to move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and practice doing things that are not comfortable.
Let’s suppose you are currently leading a level 5 life and you want to move to a level 10 life. Level 5 and below are within your comfort zone, but level 6 and above are outside your box, in your “uncomfort” zone. Meaning, to get to a level 10 life from a level 5 life, you have to travel through your uncomfort zone.
Majority of people are not willing to be uncomfortable. There’s nothing wrong with it but it doesn’t allow you to grow. The only time you can actually grow is when you are outside your comfort zone.
If you want to be successful, you’d better get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Consciously practice going into your uncomfort zone and doing what scares you. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
Here’s an equation: CZ = WZ. It means your “comfort zone” equals your “wealth zone.”
