Growth doesn’t happen in the comfort zone. The opportunities that make your stomach flip are often the ones that expand your confidence and capacity the most.
Why It Works
Builds resilience: you get comfortable with discomfort.
Signals readiness: people notice when you step up to challenges.
Unlocks hidden strengths: you discover abilities you didn’t know you had
How to Do It:
Identify one opportunity this week that feels challenging.
Say yes — even if you don’t feel “ready.”
Reflect afterward: what did you learn, and how did it grow you?
Courage isn’t the absence of fear — it’s taking action anyway. The next time a stretching opportunity comes your way, lean in. That’s where growth lives.
