Comfort & Convenience in life is the Ultimate Enemy...

Muscles, talents, skills, beliefs, relationships, families, spirit and character all have something in common. When left alone, at best they stagnate and at worse they atrophy. Tempered on the furnace of challenge, coupled wiht trial and error, the steel inside comes out. Comfort and convenience in life is the ultimate enemy. Now, before you call the nice men in the white coats with the tuxedos that buckle in the back, hear me out. A good comfortable couch to stretch out on is not a bad thing at all (and isn't what I mean by "comfort" anyway. The convenience of a reliable car to get to work and back to that comfy upholstered appendage is usually a good thing too. I'm talking about the way comfort has of robbing us of the resistance we need to grow and develop. Resistance robbing convenience should be shunned as we would the black-hatted, pencil thin-mustachioed, squeaky laughing, damsel distressing, railroad tying, mellow drama villain. They are caustic to the spirit as a tornado is to a city.
