Discomfort Zone

It is part of life to be tested, challenged, moved out of your comfort zone. I think if you stay where you are comfortable, you will not grow. Like a flower in a pot, you will use up your nutrients and no amount of water or sunlight will help. You just have to MOVE and get to a rich environment. Maybe because I am older, I am more accepting of being nudged by life to the discomfort zone. I have learned to trust the process and also learned that fighting it does not help. I wonder if there is a way to teach this to our children. Maybe by resisting the idea that everyone gets a trophy for participation or by saying "no"when you had the means to say "yes" because you don't want them becoming entitled. Today I am celebrating the Discomfort Zone. On the other side there is always...the other side. :)
