Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathon Man, makes an important point that many of us have forgotten: Western culture has things a little backwards right now. We think that if we had every comfort available to us, we’d be happy. We equate comfort with happiness. And now we’re so comfortable we’re miserable. There’s no struggle in our lives. No sense of adventure. We get in a car, we get in an elevator, it all comes easy. What I’ve found is that I’m never more alive than when I’m pushing and I’m in pain, and I’m struggling for high achievement, and in that struggle I think there’s a magic. I think there are three reasons why you and I should embrace discomfort, whether we deliberately choose it, or it simply happens to us.
