Summary

This lesson is geared to make you comfortable with uncomfortability. You might be asking yourself, why would I (Phil Svitek) ever want you to feel uncomfortable? Why can’t I just teach you ways to avoid pain and discomfort? Truth is, life doesn’t work like that and if you go about avoiding suffering, you’ll eventually be doomed because when inevitable circumstances strike, they may end up crippling you. But if you practice becoming comfortable with uncomfortability, you’ll develop proper tools and techniques to use in those instances and not be thwarted by them. And the beauty is you can apply this thinking towards your dreams. Think of what you really want. Now think of the aspects of that dream that make it seem difficult. What are they? The wonderful thing about this lesson is you’ll discover that your desire for your dreams is greater than you fear of discomfort. Your desire is dynamic and creates action, building momentum over time. That’s what the exercises I teach you are designed to do—to create that initial spark. Please, go ahead and write down what makes you feel uncomfortable in the comment section. Thank you for tuning in!

The Phil Blog Phillip Hong Back when Phil was a young kid, he kept a note of his thoughts in a black book. This black book has been filled and he has moved on to journals of different colours, but it didn't seem complete to just write it. As a result, Phil decided to record his journal. Green Millennium, The by Fritz Leiber (1910 - 1992) LibriVox From the classic science-fiction and fantasy author Fritz Leiber comes this intriguing tale of a green cat. From the author's introduction: "The world Phil Gish lived in was not a pretty one, and Phil didn't enjoy living in it. He was disillusioned, purposeless, hopeless, and haunted by the fear that a robot would take over his job. But then Phil was a timid person, not much given to adventure seeking. If he hadn't been so mild he might have found his kicks at All Amusements, the syndicated playground where anyone could find fun, providing he had the proper sadistic and otherwise aberrated elements in his personality. But Phil was good—and bored.And then one day a cat perched on his window—not an ordinary cat—a green cat. For the first time in years Phil was happy. He promptly named the cat Lucky because he somehow knew that as long as the cat stayed with him he'd feel fine. But Lucky didn't stay long. In a matter of minutes he had disappeared into All Amusements park.
