“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” – M. Scott Peck

It’s  3  : 41 PM on day 987 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast,  pray, read Deuteronomy 4,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands and email, tweet and Facebook about my campaign – no luck today but yesterday someone who wishes to remain anonymous made a $50 donation now I just need to raise $813 more to reach my goal 🙂

Today I spent some time emailing people I knew asking them to take a look at my campaign which made me really uncomfortable but the way I look at it there’s no better reason to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation than to help someone else. Do you push yourself to the point of discomfort in the hopes of achieving greatness?
