What If Comfort Is Your Superpower?
Picture a world where your greatest achievements don't require sacrificing your peace of mind. Where success doesn't demand burnout as proof of worthiness. This isn't fantasy-it's the radical premise challenging everything we've been taught about growth. For decades, we've swallowed the lie that magic happens outside our comfort zone, that real progress requires pain. We've glorified exhaustion, romanticized stress, and made "the grind" a badge of honor. Yet 55% of Americans report daily stress, one in five battles anxiety or depression, and we're more burned out than ever. What if the problem isn't that we're not pushing hard enough-but that we're pushing in entirely the wrong direction?
