COT: A wise man once said “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” —Ted Lasso
This morning was pretty uncomfortable, so I think we did it right. Find other ways to challenge yourself, in your job, your habits, or your relationships. It might be uncomfortable. But that means you’re probably doing it right.
