Being in discomfort can either be seen as a pain or a springboard for success. It depends on you. But, most often when you are uncomfortable you naturally turn to changing that position because you aren’t happy with the status quo. This creates the impetus to take action.

On the other hand, when you are comfortable you can easily become satisfied with the status quo. This can potentially lead to mediocrity.

Therefore, do not view discomfort negatively, but rather use it as motivation for change – and change for the better.

To get to the next level of success, you need to leave your comfort zone; learn new things, and seize opportunities. You have to make yourself accountable for rising to that next level or find a mentor/coach who can help you take accountability.
