Motivational Speaker Tim Ferriss: "How Can We Become Comfortable With Discomfort?" BY NPR TED Radio Hour or YouTube
"We suffer more in imagination [dogma] than in reality". By Lucius Annaeus Seneca. It's Similar to Sigmund Freud's "Slip". That's why change (shuffling the habitual filters) is the most difficult thing to human beings [Unconscious barriers].
Get out of your comfort zone and echo chambers. Science says that to "shut-up", it means nothing changes. Just say it, push the boundaries. Speak up. Then let the chip fall. Because to speaking up/out is one step toward changing things in your life or life of others. Can you imagine the things you learned in life from others speaking up/out? What if they didn't speak up/out and you had to learn trials and error of everything in life? Life could be a daunting task. Couldn't it.
Our human ego and comfortability are what makes us afraid of trying new things in life, i.e. speaking up/out whenever we have to and or required to. For example, admitting something we did wrong or saying sorry or tell each other as it's, is the most crucial thing to do in life, to maintain an everlasting relationship. Also, it is the simplest thing to do in any relationship, if one has no ego or clinging to an echo chamber.
Many people are suffering the ego syndrome, due to the imaginary feelings of how low or bad they will be perceived by others when they speak up/out or admit something. It may surprise you that it is actually the contrary. Imaginary things, when are persistent, they become fence, thus, comfort zone kicks in and such behavior becomes an echo chamber, which ultimately hinders adaptability to important changes. It is a learned behavior like many things in life.
Human beings are unique and extravagantly potential from all other living things. We are precious and gifted to adapt to our environment. To unlock such precious potential to the maximum extent possible is to live a life of trial and errors until when we get it right. Then we document our experiments' validity and reliability for replicability, that way our findings can be replicable to all without all users doing experiments all over again. This is the Nobel gift that we humans have. We ought to use it wisely.
Think of pyramids made during BC, Rocket Scientists' journeys to space, the internet, computers, pharmaceutical advancement that cure diseases, Airplane invention and or many other cool sophisticated things. The inventors didn't do these extraordinary things by reservations or fear from failure or be laughed at. They overcame their fear and did it with passion. They documented their findings and we are now enjoying today because their works are replicable. Why? We learn that negative ego, echo chamber, or comfort zone can feed the selfishness, which also is a human nature, which can be overtaken by good intents and deeds.
Let no one count you out. Each and every person is potential and destined to do extraordinary things. Just step out of the fear, comfort zone, ego and echo chamber that is locking your God-given potential to adapt and change. Let not things end up in your dreams only. We all dream. But we don't all act on our dreams. Why? Our ego and comfort zones hinder our adaptability to necessary changes in life. Thus, we waste our opportunities time after time again. Live on trying and practice will make it happen. Also, let it be known, each person is capable doing both good and bad, and it is all based on our intents and or desired goal as we strive to change.
Remember, all the successful people had a courage and daring ability to constantly trying new things without dogma and hesitation as most of us encounter them every time. A mistake is part of our human life, and comfort zone or is around those agree with us only, together are sort of recipes of a dormant life. Life needs recipes, then give it a variety of tests by season-it-up.
Lastly, try to do something new every now and then. Above all, think positively and don't sugar coat bad either, because objectivity is a virtue. Remember, make the best out of everything. Therefore discomfort can objectively be comforting. If ego and comfort zones are not hindering our ability to adopt change. The word "Impossible" equals to "I'm-Possible". Can you see? Go Figure!
