Comfortable with the Uncomfortable
That which make us uncomfortable is a beacon for personal improvement.
- I was (and still am) terrified of public speaking, so I took a speaking class and pursued speaking opportunities.
- I can worry about conflict, so I create cooperative spaces to communicate issues.
- Conflicting views are initially uncomfortable, so I ask questions to better understand and connect.
This is how we bridge gaps between what is and what can be.
