Why pressure leads to improvement
People are hardwired to take the easy way out and to prevent challenging situations from occurring because they cost a lot of energy while inducing feelings of anxiety.
Yet, avoiding uncomfortable circumstances isn’t always beneficial. It can even be incredibly detrimental to our personal growth.
That’s because pressure makes diamonds, which means that difficult times and the stress that comes with it will teach us many lessons, and force us to improve to deal with these hardships.
Here’s why:
— It leads to growth
— It motivates us to improve
— We learn the most from difficult times
— We learn more from failure and mistakes
— Easy times don’t lead to growth
