Truly successful people don’t merely tolerate discomfort—they
embrace it and seek it out again and again. Business founders and
university students, top athletes and couch potatoes, meditation
gurus and military leaders all have very different ways of coping
with discomfort, but the most successful among them believe that
withstanding discomfort is a skill that has helped them in hugely
positive ways. Some were forced into discomfort through no choice
of their own—a life-altering illness, a business fiasco—while
others signed up for it because they had goals they were
determined to achieve.

Some degree of discomfort is inherently good for you. It can spur
you on, pushing you to test your own limits. Learning to
tolerate, and then embrace, discomfort is the foundation for
change, for individuals and businesses alike. Becoming
comfortable with discomfort won’t just make us more resilient and
more successful, however we define success. It will also make us
happier.
