Get comfortable with
change and chaos
Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable
being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it’s
a small price to pay for living a dream.
—PETER MCWILLIAMS
The way to success goes through change and chaos. For personal
growth, you have to be in a constant state of feeling slightly
uncomfortable. 
Get into the habit of doing things that others
don’t want to do.
You have to choose to do what needs to be done
regardless of the inconvenience! That means: to forgive instead of
holding a grudge, to go the extra mile instead of saying it can’t be
done; to take 100 % of the responsibility for your behavior instead of
blaming others.
Most of us think that to change our lives, we have to make huge
changes, and then we get overwhelmed by the hugeness of the task
and end up not doing anything, and get stuck with our old habits.
The answer is: take baby steps! Start changing small things which
don’t require a big effort and those small changes will eventually lead
to bigger changes.
Start changing your way to get to work, the restaurant you’re
having lunch at, or meet new people.
Action Steps:
1) Do something that makes you feel slightly uncomfortable every
day.

2) What will you change tomorrow? Your daily routine? Exercise?
Eat healthier?

Focus on what you want,
not on what you lack!
It is during our darkest moments
that we must focus to see the light.
—ARISTOTLE ONASSIS
The number one reason why people are not getting what they want
is because they don’t even know what they want. The number two
reason is that
