I think that one of the benefits of doing something (anything) that you discover you can do well is that you unleash the positive feedback loop - you are good, which encourages you to continue at it, which causes you to improve more and become even better. Sometimes it's hard to see this in areas of your life where you're not so good - but if you can apply the lesson, it will help you get better at the things you're not so good at, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-83654185204793295102011-12-09T10:30:58.571-05:002011-12-09T10:30:58.571-05:00Stress (and I agree not all stress is bad stress)a...Stress (and I agree not all stress is bad stress)and discomfort often equal growth which is always a good thing.Jessica Karazsia (@irun26at8)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616274772894665823noreply@blogger.com
