Early worm gets the worm.

My secret wish for 2025:

To be uncomfortable. If my word for 2025 is simplify, my mantra is "Growth happens through discomfort."

The best things to happen in my life were through working hard, which is never comfortable, not through coasting or doing what's easy. Like when I built brick oven stoves in Paraguay, one of the most formative memories of my teenage years and when I had my first, albeit unremarkable, first kiss, (as well as my second and third that summer come to think of it, with three different boys.) 

But I digress. 

I want to do more hard things this year and get uncomfortable so I can grow into the kind of person I want to become. I don't have. many things in my control, but not being comfortable is something I can do.

Will I be getting bangs? Maybe not. Maybe I won't just do something for the sake of doing it, but I will move toward not avoiding things out of discomfort.

Something I want to try, is waking up early for the next 3 days and using the free day pass to try out two new gyms and find my new gym. My reward for being uncomfortable and going out in the cold morning will be the sauna so I can warm up my weary bones.
