Leaning into Suffering

Summary: To benefit from suffering, define the area you want to improve, understand your "threshold" (the point where it becomes uncomfortable), and push past it slightly. Label yourself a "good sufferer," engage in physical suffering (e.g., taking the stairs, doing one more pushup), and surround yourself with supportive people.

Insights:

• Pushing beyond your comfort zone during suffering leads to improvement.
• Regularly experiencing manageable suffering helps you grow.
• Physical suffering can prepare you for mental and professional challenges.
