Growth is always a little unsettling and uncomfortable, if we are guided by comfort and pleasure in all our decisions we end up weaving a stagnating coccon of comfort and pleasure around ourselves, many people say simply doing what you love is success, that is definitely not the case, growth and success comes from doing things you definitely don’t want to do but higher and more organised being within you knows that it needs to be done, our natural tendencies always lead us towards comfort pleasure and stagnation, we have to work against our natural tendencies to grow ourselves.
Everyone has a different and their own metric for success. Success can’t be objectified or generalized.
