“The only difference between a casual interest and a deep desire is the latter inspires a willingness to endure struggle.”
—Brendon Burchard, American Motivational Author

One of my favorite phrases is Commitment Supersedes Comfort. Examine for yourself where and when you and others you know operate outside your comfort zone, rather than taking the path of least resistance.
Hard work, overcoming obstacles, and taking on big challenges are far more satisfying when we are focused on a goal or the outcome we deeply desire.
EXERCISE:
Select at least one of your deeply held personal or professional desires for which you will accept whatever struggle may be required. What are you willing to endure to achieve it?
Very insightful question, Barry. What am I willing to endure to achieve it? To be honest with you, I am willing to endure whatever it takes to create a better world. That’s the ultimate reason I wake up every morning.
