Pain & Discomfort are not the same thing.
Pain is the physical experience of being without emotional power.
The physical experience of a positive emotion is always a pleasure.
The experience of pain is relative to the negative emotion caused by a fear or a false belief.
Discomfort is the opposite experience of being comfortable.
My comfort zone allows no discomfort to occur.
Unfortunately, growth & development are not evident within my comfort zone.
Personal growth, by definition, often occurs with a degree of discomfort.
My discomfort is relative to my ability to extend the boundaries of my comfort zone.
Personal growth is often uncomfortable but it need never be painful.
