I love pain.
No, I’m not a sadist.
In fact, years back I used to do whatever it takes to avoid the pain.
The pain of meeting new people because I don’t know what to say when I meet them.
The pain of approaching corporate for business because I’ve always been working with schools.
The pain of creating an online course because the last time I created one, no one bought it.
While avoiding the pain gives you the comfort in the short-run, it actually hurts you in the long-run.
Now, I’ve learned to use pain as a signal.
A signal to inform me that:
- I’d better be prepared for what’s ahead,
- I’d better learn new ways of doing things,
- I’d better embrace a new mindset.
What pain are you avoiding?
