Izzy Kiver argues that the hardest experiences in relationships, careers, and education produce the biggest personal rewards. Humans are wired to resist becoming their highest selves, clinging to comfort instead. Embracing hard challenges is essential for growth.
the most difficult things in life are the ones that bring us the biggest reward. And in the moment, it's tough. It's hard. Whether it's a difficult relationship that you're in or you're experiencing or want to be in, right? You want to aim higher. Whether it's a difficult job that you're in or career that you're pursuing or difficult program or education that you're pursuing. And it's often those times, those big challenges that help us grow and become the greatest version of yourself. And the truth is the way humans are programmed, the way we are wired is that we do not accept the highest version of ourselves. We accept, and meaning to say, we will do and we will fight like crazy in order not to lose our status, in order not to lose our standard, our bottom line, which is the lowest version of ourselves.
