325. Jefferson K Rogers – Being Uncomfortable Equals Growth

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jason Reynolds, "Be not afraid of discomfort. If you can't put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable, then you will never grow.  You will never change.  You'll never learn."    It's crazy to think that growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone.  Stretching is like a rubber band is the only way to do more, with less effort and better results.  So, without change, results will never happen.  To me, that is a scary thought.  So, if we don't embrace change and are uncomfortable, we stagnate and live a life by default, not a life we have chosen.  I think this is one of the reasons I love hosting this show.  My guests and I get to discuss ways for all of us to grow and change, hopefully with a little bit of ease and grace.    YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/C2PnmCYdElU    Today's Guest Jefferson K.
