Day 3: Law of The Lid

In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity – Albert Einstein 

We need to grow, and we have an ambition to grow and become more, but as of today, we have reached a stage where we are comfortable and possibly an expert with what we know so far.  We know we need more, but right now we are able to breathe with no pressure, we have people depending on us, and we do our job with efficiency, things are predictable.  Why then should we rock the boat?  Why should we put ourselves in a possible insecure situation and run the possibility of being weak, unsure, and unstable?  Some of it has to do with ambition.  To become more you have to put yourself in vulnerable situations to learn more and become more.  More means more, more skills, more knowledge, more experiences, and more time spent with other people.

​Guess what other people are gladly doing to become more?  No challenge, no change.  They are more than happy to challenge themselves to the point of failure, just to become more.  When working out, there are people who set aside the comfort of their couch to become more.  They know that the value of working out pays out in dividends that we will see tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.  We have to put ourselves in a position that is not comfortable and it is challenging in order to grow.
