Are we so complacent and narcissistic that we don’t see what “could be” and just “what is”?
Having challenges allow us to grow and if we don’t grow we die. Simple.
Rohan Rajiv, the author of A Learning A Day reminds us:
One way to measure if we’re stuck in our comfort zone is to look at all the projects we’re betting on for the next 6 months and ask ourselves – what percentage of these are optimization projects with guaranteed outcomes?
If we’re pushing ourselves, more than 50% of what we’re betting on will have unknown risks/rewards.
