Comfort is a warning. Don’t wait for failure to change.

Comfort is a warning. Don’t wait for failure to change. Abandon what’s working before it fails.

Your Brain at Ease

Stops scanning for issues.

Stops challenging the process.

Stops questioning methods.

Starts protecting the past.

Comfort is unquestioned repetition.

Ease makes the pursuit of better impossible.

When you’re comfortable, you’re sinking.
