3 Pressure Cookers Which Magnified My Growth, Achievement, Fulfillment, & Success.

3 Pressure Cookers Which Magnified My Growth, Achievement, Fulfillment, & Success.

I figured out what continued to keep me stuck in many different areas of my life...

The First One - Accountability.

And I'm not talking about a support person that keeps you accountable with nice words, to motivate you and blow you up like some balloon.

I'm talking about the person that keeps you accountable that usually heavily triggers you.

You know the triggers, the ones that have you saying...

- Yea but...

- It's because...

- Why are you slamming me...

- And all the other stories that come out of your mouth.

- Whats your problem...

The same feelings that to an unconscious mind will cause you to want to "exit and escape"

If you lack humility + a level of consciousness...

You will become triggered emotionally and then seek to avoid that discomfort. This is the exact opposite of what will allow you to grow, achieve, and become more empowered in your life.

The Second One - Discomfort

We are as a species and therefore culture primmed to seek pleasure over pain...

But this is where some people who value personal development, will intellectualize that last statement...they comprehend that growth and expansion sit in the discomfort, yet seek the pleasure anyway...

It is only when we can "sit" in the discomfort of emotional, or physical pain and cultivate a new meaning...

So you embrace it, rather than running from it.

The longer you seek pleasure over pain, comfort over discomfort in any form, you "will" stay stuck, with the wheels spinning.

As the saying goes...

'The solution to your problem will not be solved by the same mind that created it'

The Third One - Environment

Combining accountability with discomfort creates a cradle for you to transform into 'something' and 'someone' that society labels a 'somebody'.

We as a species are pretty average at holding ourselves at a higher level. We can see this play out in any area of society that someone has had a high level of achievement...

They have all had a team and culture that holds them to a higher standard...

It's because of this pressure that is created that they must adapt to, or else the discomfort becomes unbearable.

This is why they grow, transform, and 'become'...

Comfort, support, ease, and pleasure are the greatest illusions that life can offer us that keep us trapped and disempowered.

So I ask you...

1) Who keeps you accountable to where you despise them at least 50% of the time?

2) What emotional discomfort comes up for you daily that you can give a new meaning to?

3) What and who's in your environment to pressurize you into all that you can be, and contribute the most while you're alive?

Go forth and become.
