Nice bump. Didn’t know this thread existed until now.

Discomfort. Let’s go.

Love it!

I had a thought yesterday that I need to make a big change in my business to get a big jump. None of these small little tweaks I’ve been doing.

This is a good reminder that I’m going to have to do some hard work and go through some hard shit to come out the other side.

Just because im living a comfortable life now and am in a good position doesn’t mean that I get to skip crawling through the shit to get to the other side.

Bump for all the people avoiding Crawling Thru A Sewer Pipe Filled With Sh*T at the moment.

What about all the people who are in the middle of the pipe!?

We need a bump too! ;)

If it has to be feces I have to crawl through, so be it. At least I can shower at the end of the day somewhere.

This is awesome. Especially since I keep hearing people say 'your dream has to be super ultra specific!' But when I try to focus on it being specific it just sorta tightens the overall feeling of what I actually want: happiness! This post is very validating. Thanks MJ!

Damn, really interesting story.

I’ll remember to keep my purpose general rather than specific.

Embracing the necessary struggle and discomfort is the only path towards excellence
