Getting Comfortable
With Being Uncomfortable
##################

In the past 4 weeks I think I have been to 13 different schools
providing motivational talks to the student athletes with the Navy
SEALS AND THE LuBear marketing firm. It has been fantastic,
draining and enlightening. :)  (sidebar: I miss my wife and kids)

One of the common threads from all of the speeches and lessons
provided was one of embracing discomfort.

Look, let's be honest here.

Its tough to love something or someone that is hard to love.

It easy to love a beautiful person, but hard to love one that is an
"eye challenge."

Its easy to love chocolate cake and ice cream, but hard to love
sprinting up a hill. And its easy to love a soft couch but hard to
love the feeling of a rock in your shoe.

Discomfort sucks! But I don't think that I can think of one
noteworthy achievement that comes without it, but I can tell you
what kills the achievement.

It is this.......

When you FOCUS on the discomfort instead of embracing it and
accepting it as the oll to ride on the turnpike of success.

Simply put, don't focus on the labor pain, focus on the baby..

So today's lesson is clear.

Use it, apply it and EMBRACE it.

Take care.
