Discomfort is a skill.
Also: wildly underrated.

2 exercises:

1. Take a colder shower than you want.
   Growth lives in that moment you hesitate… then turn the knob anyway.

1. Ask for a discount on coffee.

Easy in theory, not so much in real life.

The quality of your life is based on the number of difficult conversations you’re willing to have. - Tim Ferriss

Not eager to have; willing to have.

Being okay with discomfort is one of life’s key skills.

In the next post we’ll explore how to develop it.

Trial & Error

We think we shouldn’t start a project until we feel ready.

It’s normal.

However, the best way to learn is often through trial and error.

The most basic example is life itself.

We aren’t educated or prepared before birth.

We learn along the way.

Questions

What’s more useful, a question or an answer?

Surprisingly, it can be a question.

A question can open up your mind to multiple answers.

Learn how to fish.

Do More

Want to succeed?

Do a bit more than expected.

Come a little earlier.

Stay a bit later.

Help out more than necessary.

It will stand out.

Go Giving

Middah Kineged Middah (measure for measure.)

It’s how Hashem treats us.

If you want to receive, then give.

It’s also logical: People would rather do business with a giver than with a taker.

Besides being the right thing to do, it will benefit you too.

Idea from the book, The Go Giver, by Bob Burg, a short and inspiring read.
