Growth And Comfort: Two Mutually Exclusi...

PATRICK KING
About this episode

To live with more integrity and honesty, we need to acknowledge that growth and comfort are mutually exclusive. Can we accept all that we are, even the dark and unwanted parts of ourselves? We must, because that is the only way we can ever improve. Pain, failure, mistakes; all of these are a part of life and we must not run away from them, because life is a package deal. The good life is never lived in a state of comfort devoid of hardships. When we can embrace our vulnerabilities with honesty and self-compassion, we can empower ourselves to act with more focused intention—and live the life we want.
