Yesterday's podcast post with the incredibly inspirational journalist and speaker Mariana Atencio resonated deeply with me. During our conversation, she referred to a Garth Brooks song and talked about the importance of leaving the fire's perimeter, where you feel safe, and?stepping inside the fire, where the discomfort is real. It's in that space of discomfort that resilience grows.?
It's sound advice for anyone deferring a complicated conversation because of the vulnerability that comes with the discomfort. There's no denying it––discomfort sucks. Whatever the struggle, stepping inside the fire will yield profound growth that outweighs any temporary pain. And through pain, purpose is often revealed.?
???? Why facing discomfort head-on is worth the risk:

8 个月I've always been aware, but sometimes we need to be reminded that inner strength comes when we move forward even in the face of the greatest adversity and challenges. Last week, my amazing mother had a mild stroke. So I did what she always taught me to do, "do something but don't assume someone will plan and manage for you". She had a couple of very rough days, and by immense good fortune, she began to respond positively. She found her voice again and regained the ability to move her arms and legs. I had to step inside the fire of chaos and confusion, confront reality and make decisions. #trustyourinstincts, #stepintoyourpower, #survivetothrive

8 个月This hits home. I think many of us arrive at a point in life when we need to step inside the fire, tear down the walls, expose our vulnerabilities, embrace our imperfections, have difficult conversations, speak our truths, view change as a welcome guest at our door, and accept discomfort as a positive side effect to strengthening our emotional intelligence and resilience. Mid-life will do that to you. ??
