@chbartist Understanding your writing, I comment that everything in our life has a reason for its change, you use the word discomfort, the human being with a normal level of nature is unhappy, this makes room for our personal transformation, being a reason for improvement, it is correct when invite you to perceive the discomfort as a motivator to overcome the difficulties that may arise in your daily activities, those difficulties of my part I identify as barriers, the first obstacle to overcome is the way to perceive the difficulties, we have to look at them as opportunities to improve or transform for the better things.
Greetings, a pleasure to share your writing.
