“The critical insight for me is to really inhabit that discomfort.” Seek the wisdom in pain – I love this concept – very nicely worded. Seeking discomfort isn’t intuitive, most people would rather avoid it. However, discomfort exists for a reason. Jump in and pay attention. Maybe you’ll find a routine that needs to be changed. Maybe you’ll learn most routines are okay the way they are. In the end the most of the same routines will return, they have to, in your case they probably should (what you’ve been doing up to now is working). Choosing this route is a huge part of the reward, and of course figuring out how to apply what you learned along the way without crashing and burning everything around you is the challenge.

Maybe those epiphanies are just momentary glimpses into the “possible” and aren’t really meant to infringe upon “old routines.” After all, just because a routine is a routine doesn’t make it wrong or in need of change–maybe we can appreciate it as something that is worthwhile.

Chris – you are cementing my impression of you as one of the most thoughtful and honest people in this space! I like the idea of separating your persona between “Chris the social media pundit” on MotiveLab and “Chris the marketing & technology philosopher” at chriskenton.com
