Eckhart Tolle argues that discomfort forces every living thing to evolve and unlock hidden abilities. Challenge is what drives consciousness itself. Without pressure pushing life out of its comfort zone, complexity and awareness never develop.
Every life form needs to experience being taken out of their comfort zone in order to evolve and to manifest whatever powers they have. Every life form is continuously challenged, and only that is the driving force behind the evolution of all life forms, the awakening of consciousness, because gradually life forms on the planet, this planet, anywhere in the universe Gradually, it's become— becoming more and more complex.
