This week is being one of the hardest ones for me. In my previous article about living in Hell for one week I wrote about the importance of being always uncomfortable. During all this time I learned that any real progress I have ever made in Life was thanks to being in a dangerous situation that I have never been before, and the worse it is, the less comfortable you are with it, the bigger your improvement will be.

I tried it with many different things, sports situations, social situations, professional situations and even personal situations. The worse I feel, the better I am becoming. don’t get me wrong. I almost fainted one time while ridding my bicycle at top speed for three hours, I even broke my person record from an average of 24 KMH to 28 KMH. If you know a thing about bicycles you see this is huge! I even threw up for about 15 minutes. But the improvement was there, I got it the day after!

Lance Armstrong says “Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”

Of course you will never get physically hurt if you put yourself in a very uncomfortable situation, but sure you will hurt yourself if you try for example to jump off a building that is way too high for you. The second one you must do as well with the conscience that it can be your last jump.

Will I continue with it? Sure I will, I am loving it, I learned more in this time than in all other months together because I stood out of my shell, you can’t really believe how big the world is.

How can you start? Why don’t you visit a new website? Why don’t you try to talk to that opposite person that is boiling your heart? Why don’t you just ride 100 KM of bicycle at night with only a reflector and ni lights?

Why don’t you just try something that feels bad?
