Modern life has been optimized for my comfort, which is very nice but all that comfort stands in direct opposition to my development and progress as a child of God. Growth requires, even demands, discomfort.
Believing that great outcomes are the result of doing many small things consistently, these past 3 months I have been embracing discomfort by taking cold showers almost exclusively.
Cold showers alone won’t transform me into the person God intends, but they have been a tool for teaching me how to embrace discomfort more broadly, sacrifice my desire, and develop mental fortitude.
