Connor Beaton explains why 98% of people choose the easy path while 2% take the stairs. Growth happens when you pick the slightly uncomfortable option in everyday decisions, expanding your comfort zone over time.
How does that man then begin to actively propel himself towards the confrontation that you and I are talking about? Because it does feel like a type of confrontation with discomfort.
100% of people know that taking the stairs is going to be better for them in the long run. But 98% of people choose to do the easier, more effortless thing that could actually harm them in the long run, given how little we move today. You want to be one of the 2% of people who are willing to do the thing that is slightly more uncomfortable But will get you a long-term benefit. So every single day in life, we have to face decisions, right? Where it's like, I know I need to get to that metaphorical second floor. I can either do it the easy way or I can do it the slightly harder way. And yeah, it's going to be a little hard now, but it's going to move the ball way more downfield. And it can literally be as simple as like, take that mindset and I'm going to try it to apply it across the board. I mean, this to me is kind of the big unlock because Once you start looking for those opportunities, you can start to take them. And then that sort of expands what the comfort zone is.
