Take the challenge. When you’re uncomfortable you grow. When you challenge yourself, you see the most growth.

I am at a job that I “loved” but it made me so angry how comfortable I was getting. I knew there was more out there and I wanted to do it but the idea of being comfortable was nice.

Now I have decided to NOT make that job my number one priority and have set other goals and aspirations. I do more things dependent on my hobbies and long term goals. Am I poorer? Do I have less coworker friends? Do I relate to people less at work? Yes. But because I am a bit uncomfortable and pushing myself I feel SO mentally and emotionally stimulated. I get sad when I think about how I wish I loved living the comfortable life I had at the job. Buuuut it was WAY worse when I thought about all the things I WANTED to be doing.

Now that I’m doing them I feel great.

So I say challenge yourself. To hell with being comfortable. You won’t be intellectually stimulated if you stay where you’re at. Also, you can always go back to your comfortable life if you hate challenging yourself more:)
