Our minds have the tendency to turn away and move away from what we most fear and resist. We naturally don’t like pain, frustration, and difficulty, so avoiding them is an act of self-protection, in a sense.

And yet, this keeps us in our comfort zone. The path of growth is in those uncomfortable areas we’re avoiding.
