Robin Sharma Says Discomfort of Growth Better Than Illusion of Safety
Ed Mylett Show
Overcoming the Fear of Failure: Strategies for a Maxed Out Life | Ed Mylett
What was said
"Someone said to me the other day, 'But this all sounds so hard.' And you know what? I went back to my hotel room. You know what I thought about? Misery and unfulfilled promise is a lot harder. And I think the discomfort of growth is always to be preferred to the illusion of safety."
Leadership expert Robin Sharma argued that avoiding difficult growth is ultimately more painful than the temporary discomfort of pursuing mastery. He told Ed Mylett that people construct 'straw monsters' of fear that prevent them from becoming who they're meant to be, and that facing these fears daily is essential to fulfillment.
