Here’s What Happens When You Choose The Life That’s Comfortable Over The Life That Would Challenge You
(And now for something completely different...) 
Here’s what you do when your life is oriented towards comfort and complacency:
You’re desperate to fight the stagnation that’s settling in under your skin
You get obsessed. Obsessed with your online presence. Obsessed with your curated social feed. Obsessed with keeping your bosses happy and your parents proud and your life seeming shiny on the outside, while everything inside of you is crumbling.
You disengage with yourself. With whatever that thing is inside of you that’s begging you to try harder, strive higher, reconnect with what you know, at your core, you’re meant to be doing.
With the person that you’re supposed to be.
Because when your life is oriented towards safety, there’s no room for that person to grow.
When your life is oriented towards comfort, that’s all that it is ever going to be – comfortable. Easy. Convenient.

Because eventually, you barely remember a time when your life was any different at all. When it was ever about something bigger than your personal comfort.
There was a time when you had stories to tell. And information to share. And people to connect with, and that was what mattered to you most.
I had a feeling this wouldn't garner much interest here...
(Why?)
