Everybody has different fears, insecurities, and discomforts. But a lot of people go through their life avoiding those things, and thus limiting their own potential. If you want to maximize all the positive aspects of your life, you can start with facing your fears and choosing to be uncomfortable.” - Peter Hollins | | “Discipline is inherently uncomfortable, so strengthening your relationship with discomfort is one of the best ways to improve self-discipline.
