Growth exists outside of the comfort zone.

This is true in sports, business, fitness, mental and spiritual journeys, relationships, etc.

Take a moment to think about how you view stress.

Don’t confuse this with burnout. Burnout exists when you’re out of alignment with your mission and core values.

But stress, or strategic discomfort, followed by strategic rests, will take your game to the next level.
