"Soy bueno para estar incómodo, así que no puedo dejar de cambiar todo el tiempo."

Being comfortable with discomfort leads to constant growth. Simple, right? When you're okay with stepping into unknown territory, you open yourself up to endless possibilities for change and improvement.

This idea reminds me of a famous innovator, Steve Jobs. Jobs was known for pushing boundaries and embracing discomfort. When he was ousted from Apple in 1985, he could have easily settled into a comfortable but unremarkable life. Instead, he ventured into new projects that were risky and uncertain. He founded NeXT and bought Pixar, both of which were massive gambles at the time. Jobs's willingness to embrace discomfort didn't just change his life; it changed industries. He returned to Apple and transformed it into one of the most valuable companies in the world. His story exemplifies what embracing discomfort can lead to.

Now, think about someone learning a new language. It's awkward, isn't it? You might sound silly at first, making mistakes left and right. But over time, as you get used to those uncomfortable moments, you start to improve. You speak more fluently, and you understand more. By being comfortable with the initial embarrassment, you unlock the ability to communicate with millions of new people and access a whole new culture.

So, how can you apply this wisdom to your own life? Start by recognizing areas where you shy away from discomfort. Maybe it's public speaking, trying a new hobby, or even having tough conversations. Then, push yourself to engage with these challenging situations, even if just a little bit. You don't have to dive headfirst into the deep end—start with baby steps. If public speaking terrifies you, try speaking up more in small meetings or practice in front of a mirror. Gradually, you'll find that what once felt impossible becomes second nature.

Picture this: you decide to take up running. At first, it’s brutal. Your legs ache, you’re out of breath, and every step feels like a struggle. But you stick with it, running a bit farther each day. Weeks go by, and you notice something incredible—you can run longer distances without feeling like you're dying. That initial discomfort turns into strength and endurance. You might even start to enjoy those morning runs, feeling the fresh air and the sense of accomplishment.

Here’s another scenario: imagine you're at a party, and you don’t know many people there. You could stick to the corners, chatting only with the friends you came with. Or, you could push through the awkwardness and strike up conversations with strangers. It might feel weird at first, but you never know—one of those strangers could become a lifelong friend or a valuable business connection. The more you do this, the better you'll get at it, and what once felt uncomfortable will become second nature.

In essence, being good at being uncomfortable is like having a superpower. It means you’re always ready to grow, learn, and adapt. So next time you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, embrace it. Feel the awkwardness, the uncertainty, and push through. You'll come out on the other side stronger, smarter, and more resilient. And who knows? You might even start to look forward to those moments of discomfort, seeing them as opportunities rather than obstacles.
