“It’s not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but rather the most adaptive to change.” – Charles Darwin

There’s a reason why we are still here on Earth. We adapted.

Yet the very thing that pushed us to where we are today, we find ourselves avoiding. We avoid, as human beings, challenge. We would much rarther be comfortable, cozy, and safe. Now we aren’t going to let loose predators to chase us around, but if we truly want to find that next best version of ourselves… we know we need to get uncomfortable.

When we find ourselves struggling today, take a step back. Realize for just a moment, in the uncomfortable mess that we are in, that this is us… getting better. If we can re-wire ourselves to embrace those sweaty, painful, often embarrassing moments… we can go wherever we want to go.

“The purpose of pain is to move us in action, not to make us suffer.” – Tony Robbins

Pain gets a bad rap.

Not in our world.

If we can frame pain for what it is, action for the betterment of ourselves, we redefine what this feeling means to us. As Tony Robbins puts it, it’s purpose is to move us forward. It’s leverage. An advantage, and a very powerful one at that. Few things in the world can get a human being to move faster than pain.

We recognize to do anything great, it’s going to be uncomfortable. Our body is going to resist it – change is hard. Change all too often has plenty of pain involved.

What pain is not however, is suffering. Pain is a feeling, where suffering is a state of mind. Those that can endure pain and value it for the heights it pushes us towards, will reap the benefits. If we fall into the trap however of emotionally despising it, we’ll naturally avoid it. And it’s the daily reaction to this pain that compounds to dramatically different results over time.

Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.

“Everything thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.” – Leo Tolstoy

One of the most challenging things we can face is ourselves. To truly turn inward. It’s uncomfortable, awkward, and we fight against it. It takes incredible guts.

It’s just far easier to blame the external world for who, or where we are. It’s the excuse. The easy way out.

It’s a white-flag surrender to the thought of, “I don’t have control over my life”. But deep down inside, we know, that’s not true. And if we can see it as that big of a threat… we can see how important it is to see the opposite.

If can turn within, this is where something far more powerful can happen. As Mahatma Gandhi quoted, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

“If you want to be truly successful at it, you cannot be content with pretty good.” – Tim Grover

Pretty good is decent.

Pretty good is average.

Pretty good checks the box.

Pretty good… is the enemy of excellent.

How we do anything is how we do everything. And there is nothing in life worth doing half-assed. Although we recognize the truth behind that statement, every single one of us can improve on this. To refine this habit – to truly blast through “good enough”.

What actions this week have been “pretty good”? When these opportunities come around next week, what will we do differently?

“The man on top of the mountain did not fall there” – Vince Lombardi

When we see the best of the best compete, they seem to make it look effortless. So effortless, they get labeled with terms like “naturally talented” or “gifted”.

But this couldn’t be farther from the truth. As Vince Lombardi writes, they didn’t and fall into excellence by chance.

The hard truth is that they have worked harder than us. It’s not because they were born with it, or because they received it by chance. It’s because they earned it. They climbed the mountain… there’s only one way up.

This isn’t intended to be demoralizing… it’s quite the opposite. It’s empowering. It’s proof that we too can climb, if we so choose to put in the work. That discipline and commitment over time can get us there.

It doesn’t matter where you started. And it doesn’t even matter where you are right now. All that matters, is where you want to go, and how hard you are willing to work for it.
