Change and tension

Change doesn’t happen without tension.

The agonising torture of a bad performance review, the discomfort of a scolding, the awkwardness of your poor small talk, the feeling of inadequacy, the thought of being left behind, a look of disgust, the pain of being ridiculed for your eccentricity.

Whilst it might feel uncomfortable, if one’s goal is change then dialling up the tension can work wonders.
