Episode Summary:
In today's episode, we explore the concept of 'Divine Discomfort', the feeling of unease when elevating to higher ideals. It highlights how this discomfort signals growth, as we shift from self-centered goals to broader, more meaningful objectives. The episode uses practical examples to illustrate how enduring initial discomfort leads to long-term alignment and fulfillment, encouraging listeners to embrace these challenging but transformative moments.
