Matthew Weber:
The thing, though, about being comfortable in your habits, is that nothing really new happens. If you don’t do things differently or try new things, your life is going to pass you by, because the new experiences are what make life worth living. They are what create new and cherished memories.
It is Good to Be Uncomfortable
Alain de Botton:
While we may not be able to overcome our burdens themselves, it does lie in our power to alter what these burdens have to mean to us. We may not have to take them as proof of our stupidity or ill-adjustment, they can be signs that we are destined to have interesting lives rather than calm ones, lives marked by a high degree of exploration, psychological understanding, and striving rather than settled certainty and equilibrium.
