Temporary discomfort is an investment in your future self. Accept a small and uncomfortable transition now, for a lifetime of growth and self-development.
Florence Given (Women Don't Owe You Pretty)
The familiar feels safe; that is, until we teach ourselves that discomfort is temporary and a necessary part of transformation.
Nicole LePera (How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self)
In depression this faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. If there is mild relief, one knows that it is only temporary; more pain will follow. It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul. So the decision-making of daily life involves not, as in normal affairs, shifting from one annoying situation to another less annoying- or from discomfort to relative comfort, or from boredom to activity- but moving from pain to pain. One does not abandon, even briefly, one’s bed of nails, but is attached to it wherever one goes. And this results in a striking experience- one which I have called, borrowing military terminology, the situation of the walking wounded. For in virtually any other serious sickness, a patient who felt similar devistation would by lying flat in bed, possibly sedated and hooked up to the tubes and wires of life-support systems, but at the very least in a posture of repose and in an isolated setting. His invalidism would be necessary, unquestioned and honorably attained. However, the sufferer from depression has no such option and therefore finds himself, like a walking casualty of war, thrust into the most intolerable social and family situations. There he must, despite the anguish devouring his brain, present a face approximating the one that is associated with ordinary events and companionship. He must try to utter small talk, and be responsive to questions, and knowingly nod and frown and, God help him, even smile. But it is a fierce trial attempting to speak a few simple words.

Discomfort it temporary. A photo is forever.
Kipling Swehla
It is better to experience temporary discomfort to achieve the dream, than permanent comfort without any fulfillment.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Temporary discomfort is a part of growth
Etheria Divine
Temporary discomfort pales in the face of long-term awakening.
Alan Cohen
There is power in the pressure of dissatisfaction, in the tension of temporary discomfort. This is the kind of pain you want in your life, the kind of pain that you immediately transform into positive new actions.
Anthony Robbins (Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!)
The familiar feels safe, that is until we teach ourselves that discomfort is temporary and a necessary part of transformation.
Nicole LePera
Courage is making an unpopular decision and suffering through temporary discomfort because you know it will have the best long-term results.
Andrena Sawyer
Sometimes you have to go through temporary discomfort and make temporary sacrifices; in order to get long term success and comfort.
Jeanette Coron
On the level of courage, we are willing to take self-improvement courses, learn consciousness techniques, and risk the journey within to seek our own true Self, the inner reality. There is a willingness to experience uncertainty, periods of confusion, and temporary upset because, underneath the temporary discomfort, we have a long-term transcendent goal. The mind that is operating on the level of courage makes such statements as: “I can handle it”; “We’ll make it”; “The job will get done”; “We can see this through”; “All things shall pass.
David R. Hawkins (Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender (Power vs. Force, #9))
If you want a million dollar salary then you’ll have to be willing to put in a million dollar worth of work. If it was easy everybody would do it, those who succeed are those who are willing to sacrifice temporary discomfort for long term success. Keep working and don’t stop until you’re finished.
Jeanette Coron
It seems like everyone these days is putting on a mask to feel beautiful, trying to fit into some pre-established norms of how we should look. This isn’t only painful, it’s ignorant. Saying like we know, better than nature does, what is beautiful and what is not is like a two-year-old lecturing an old man about patience. Nature’s been creating beauty for millennia and you are part of that creation process. Stop the madness. Stop fighting who you are. Let the mask fall. It’ll be strange at first, yes. But, over time, you’ll see beyond the temporary discomfort of stepping outside social norms and learn to see the beauty you were born with, the beauty you’ve been taught to ignore and cover up. You’ll see beauty that will take your breath away, like a sunset. That’s how beautiful you are—like a sunset, like a forest, like a million fireflies on a calm warm night lighting up the sky. You are made by nature. Nature is wiser in the ways of beauty than cosmetics companies or magazines. Break the spell. Gain back your sanity. Go find that brilliant beauty within every single part of you. Go find the universe in your eyes. Remove that cloak that’s been pulled over your eyes and see yourself for who you really are.
Vironika Tugaleva
The commitment to forgive everyone, in all situations, without exception, including ourselves, is an intensely transformative commitment. The nature of forgiveness is such that it cannot be pretended or intellectualised. It is a practice which involves deep surrender to God and sincere humility. Surrender and humility are the two qualities which will advance our evolution most significantly. The practice of forgiveness brings quietness, stillness, peace, and happiness. If we want to be happy, we must be willing to let go of that which is most painful to us. The ego will put up a vicious fight, reminding us of how justified we are in holding onto all those things. The ego gets its life force from such resentments and so it is hardly going to co-operate with its own demise. However, with a sincere desire for happiness and peace, one finds the ability to let things go. The end result more than compensates for any temporary discomfort.
Donna Goddard (The Love of Devotion (Love and Devotion, #2))
And you take any consequences on the chin. You shoulder them because you know nothing can make you buckle. What people don’t realize is that discomfort is temporary.
Kevin Hart (This Is How We Do It: A Pep Talk)
for me, is the saddest thing about smoking: the only ‘enjoyment’ a smoker gets from a cigarette is temporary relief from the discomfort created by the previous one. All the smoker is looking for is the state of peace, tranquility and confidence that they had before they started smoking in the first place.
Allen Carr (Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking)
I’ve never minded having hangovers. I mean: it’s not that I enjoy them – but there’s something important about them, I think. Something to do with acts and consequences. Something to do with facing down extinction. The truth is we get drunk less for the intoxication and more for the aftermath. Because the experience of intoxication itself, whilst pleasurable (I guess), is fundamentally banal. Whereas the experience of hangover, of post-drunken-excess guilt, has about it something more profound; it carries within its temporary discomfort a mustard seed of existential resonance. It says: I survived, which is to say: I can survive.
Adam Roberts
When you are in the ether you remember that you are a part of consciousness and that you are being sent out into the world to experience, learn, and grow. You know that physical life is temporary, and that the pain and adversity you face as a physical being is but a moment in your existence. Why do people choose to enter a life that is filled with pain and torment? Because from the perspective of the ether, any pain or adversity is but a blip of discomfort in the grand scheme of things. It’s like asking if you are willing to suffer a paper cut in order to gain vast wisdom and knowledge and tremendous personal growth. When we incarnate, we forget that, so yeah, it can be extremely difficult to understand why horrible things happen to you and even more disconcerting to think you chose for it to happen! This is why I feel it is so important to remember where we came from. When you remember that this life is temporary and that your goal is growth, it can make even the most horrible conditions bearable.
Erin Pavlina
The real work in raising the bar is to stop doing the same old thing you’ve always done, to try out new strategies, to ignore false alarms, to resist the urge to quit, and to refuse to fall back into familiar terrain. The ability to tolerate discomfort—doing what might not feel good, but doing it anyway—is the only way you’ll ever complete the path to financial success. It helps to keep in mind that the discomfort is temporary, but the payoff is extraordinary
Barbara Stanny (now Huson) (Secrets of Six-Figure Women)
Through the decades, government has silently grown and spread, thrusting insidious, intertwining tentacles into nearly every area of our lives. Our society is now so thoroughly penetrated by government bureaucracy and our economy so entangled in government controls that dissolution of the State would cause major and painful temporary dislocations. The problems of adjusting to a laissez-faire society are somewhat like those facing an alcoholic or heroin addict who is thinking of kicking the habit, and the difficulties and discomforts involved may make some people decide that we’d be better off just staying as we are. It is naive, however, to assume that we can “just stay as we are.
Morris Tannehill (Market for Liberty)
This work is not comfortable. Nor should it be. Some of what I will share will make you want to slam the book shut and you're probably going to hate me at times, but I urge you to keep going. Any pain and discomfort you feel is temporary and pales into comparison to what Black people and People of Colour often have to experience on a daily basis. On the other side of some of the most difficult realisations and exchanges with others, is huge transformation - that is where the work and change happens.
Nova Reid (The Good Ally)
Dissolving our ego is merging with our spiritual identity. It is highly comfortable to our soul, but our ego can, and probably will, experience it as life-threatening. The discomfort is temporary, and the blessed result is permanent.
Donna Goddard (Love Matters)
Temporary discomfort is an investment in your future self. Accept a small and uncomfortable transition now for a lifetime of potential growth and self-development.
Florence Given (Women Don't Owe You Pretty)
I know how it feels to feel stuck. It’s uncomfortable. But there’s also a discomfort that comes when God has been trying to move you and you won’t move. He’ll make you uncomfortable until you get forced to move. He did that to me many times as well. Don’t wait until things get so bad that God has to make you so uncomfortable just to push you out of your comfort zone. Take those steps yourself. Be ready to take your leaps of faith. Trust yourself. Trust that gut, that feeling deep down on the inside. It’s there. That’s our gift. And remember, wherever you are, it’s only temporary.

It is painful to end your suffering. It is painful to process, to feel, to let go. It is painful to grieve, to be honest, to move on. It is so painful that most people keep to themselves in a prolonged state of mild discomfort so as to avoid the acute but temporary sensation of facing their fears. It is painful to end your suffering at first--but then there is peace on the other side. There is a new life waiting to begin.
Brianna Wiest (The Pivot Year)
Theatre and tourism are kindred practices. Both are experiences of temporary escape to different, sometimes distant, places and times. Both immerse you in other lives or other ways of living. Both mix fantasy, pleasure, and play with the promise of authentic cultural knowledge. Whether you travel by plane or bus, or whether it is only your imagination that is transported, in both tourism and theatre, embodied presence—being there—is of the essence. Tourism and theatre are alike in other ways. They are both leisure industries, bound up with global economic and political processes, such as colonization or nation-building, and more local ones, such as rural revitalization or city planning. As the example of the Guthrie shows, they share imagery and ideologies, techniques and technologies. Since the advent of commercial leisure travel in the eighteenth century, tourism and theatre have ridden on the coattails of each other’s commercial success. It is remarkable then that scholars have rarely attempted to look at the relationship between them. But it is also telling. Contemporary critics routinely berate tourist attractions for being overly theatrical or theatrical productions for being too touristic, as if the conjunction of the two was supercharged with cultural danger. Where does our discomfort with seeing theatre in tourism and tourism in theatre come from? What if we were to take touristic theatre and theatrical tourism seriously, as aesthetically dynamic practices? As sites of public culture with social, economic, and political significance?
Margaret Werry (Theatre and Tourism)
Discipline is about going through the temporary discomfort required for the long-term benefits. Making a habit of embracing discomfort will benefit you in all areas of life. It will give you the mental agility required to thrive regardless of your circumstances. Discipline isn’t concerned about your feelings—it doesn’t care that you feel as if you can’t take another step because that’s when you need it the most. Practicing discipline is a brain training exercise, equipping it to default to perseverance mode.
Daniel Walter (The Power of Discipline: How to Use Self Control and Mental Toughness to Achieve Your Goals)
You know what feels good to most of us when these obstacles, stresses and concerns consume us? Eating a dozen, warm chocolate chip cookies. Sure, there's always a time for chocolate chip cookies, but they aren't a solution to our problems. Neither is skipping the gym. Abandoning yet another weight loss attempt because life got too hard shouldn't be an option. It's no doubt annoying to have to count calories and keep burning calories when the world is going to hell around us, but it's important to keep perspective if you're actually going to be successful in losing weight. The perspective is that even through the pain and discomfort from a death, move, job loss, or general stress might last weeks, months, or even years, it is all temporary. Good health is, too.

If your Dentist La Jolla suggests that you just undergo a root planing process, that should outcome in smoother gums plus a healthier, cleaner mouth. You are going to expertise pretty tiny - if any - discomfort, and your mouth will be rid of hazardous bacteria and gingivitis, a gum disease that could sooner or later bring about the loosening of teeth. As long as this disease is caught in time, a cosmetic dentist can repair any harm that could have already been carried out. Root planing, the method of removing any infection that may well be within the teeth and smoothing the surfaces of roots, is usually confused with yet another process known as scaling. Scaling may be the approach of cleaning tartar which has accumulated on a patient's teeth. Typically, scaling and root planing are performed at the same time. It can be very significant that gingivitis is treated as quickly as possible ahead of inflammation works its way as well far toward the base of one's teeth. If this occurs, bacteria may cause a terrific deal of damage, breaking down the structure of a tooth towards the point that it becomes loose. If that damage is too terrific, the method is irreversible. Even so, the procedure might be halted or even reversed if caught early enough. When a cosmetic dentist performs root planing, she or he could numb the region to be treated to lower discomfort. This could include things like either an anesthetic that may be injected, or possibly a topical anesthetic gel that is applied to the pockets of gums. You won't experience any numbing of your tongue or lips, as might be the case with an injection. You'll find some situations where no sort of anesthetic is needed at all, for example when an infection has not developed also deeply in the gums. The only sensation you would really feel will be scraping as the area is smoothed and cleaned. When the surface is planned and totally free of tartar, this makes it possible for the gum tissues to heel and reattach towards the root surface. A cosmetic dentist normally performs this process in the course of four distinct appointments, a single for every quadrant with the mouth. She or he may, by way of example, choose to work around the upper correct side of one's mouth 1st, after which schedule separate appointments for the other areas. You'll find instances, even so, where a patient may perhaps undergo two cleanings, exactly where the upper half of your mouth is worked on first, after which the reduced half is cleaned. After your process, your teeth may possibly be a little more sensitive to temperature for a brief whilst and you could knowledge some temporary bleeding. It is actually rare that patients have any sort of substantial pain, but your cosmetic dentist can prescribe medication if that is certainly the case. In most instances, over-the-counter medicines can simply look after any discomfort that could happen.

just the thought of some temporary discomfort was enough to keep him from the spiritual adventure of a lifetime.
K.P. Yohannan (The Road to Reality: Coming Home to Jesus from the Unreal World)
Artificial Teeth – A Better Way to Keep Oral Health for a Long Time Artificial teeth are a durable and long-lasting replacement for missing teeth. They consist of a tiny titanium screw, which is surgically embedded in the jawbone. Each implant is approximately the same size as a natural tooth root, and performs the function of holding up a prosthetic tooth. Dental teeth implants are an option if you have just lost one or more teeth due to an accident or some kind of disease. You can get these teeth back by way of dental implants but this is an option than a many people consider due to the factor can be expensive and a fairly complicated procedure. Artificial teeth feel just like real teeth so you don't need to worry about that. There also a lot more effective than other methods of tooth repair and to be honest, there are just like having a natural set of teeth. Provided you have a good dentist, they will be properly integrated into the structure of your jaw and you went even noticed that they are implants. Aside from the aesthetic appeal to dental implants, artificial teeth fulfill the same purpose and function the same way as our original natural teeth. Implants allow you to eat and speak as you naturally would, without any impediments caused by gaps. Artificial teeth can be suited for a single tooth or several teeth, in your upper or lower jaw. These prosthetic replacements to missing teeth are measured cosmetic dentistry and are indistinguishable from your natural teeth. The artificial teeth make sure that nobody knows that you have a replacement tooth. Also the neighboring teeth do not have to be altered to support an implant like in the case of bridging. This means that the original teeth are untouched, which means that your oral health will stay good for a long time. After artificial teeth, you can easily speak again without any discomfort. You will no longer have to deal with the displaced dentures or the messy denture adhesives. It is a lot more convenient than any other procedure.

there’s more to liberation than trying to avoid discomfort, more to lasting happiness than pursuing temporary pleasures, temporary relief.
Pema Chödrön (Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change)
For the perversely minded, simply killing the trinkets of your greatest amusement and nutritional satisfaction produces at best only temporary elation, a dazzling sensation that is over in a flash, but to permit your prey to fear calamity and to live through catastrophes large and small, to hope and to weep and to lament, to feel anguish over things lost, to regret things found, and to suffer with physical discomfort, emotional injuries and psychological lesions is the wellhead of enduring pleasure.
John Zande (The Owner of All Infernal Names: An Introductory Treatise on the Existence, Nature & Government of our Omnimalevolent Creator)
Across the Reich, the Gestapo recorded increased the activity of anti-state elements. It’s kind of a helpless protest by those wretches against our celebration of victory. They organize bomb attacks against representatives of the Reich or against the civilian German population. We’ve also noticed murder-suicides. Eighty-seven civilians killed have been reported during the last week. From the Protectorate of Bohmen und Mahren, the destruction of Peter Brezovsky’s long-sought military cell was announced. From Ostmark…” “Enough,” Beck interrupted him, “I’m interested only in Brezovsky.” That name caused him discomfort. In his mind, he returned to the Bohemian Forest in 1996. It was in a different dimension, before he had used time travel. At the time, Peter Brezovsky was the only man who had passed through the Time Gate. He’d offered him a position by his side during the building of the Great German Reich. He’d refused. Too bad, he could have used a man like him. These dummies weren’t eager enough to fulfill his instructions. He also remembered Werner Dietrich, who had died in the slaughter during an inspection in the Protectorate. “… in the sector 144-5. It was a temporary base of the group. There were apparently targeted explosions of the surrounding buildings,” the man continued. “This area interests me. I want to know everything that’s happening there. Go on,” he ordered the man. He was flattered at the leader’s sudden interest. Raising his head proudly, he stretched his neck even more and continued, “For your entertainment, Herr Führer, our two settlers, living in this area from 1960, on June the twenty first, met two suspect men dressed in leather like savages. The event, of course, was reported to the local department of the Gestapo. It’s funny because during the questioning of one of Brezovsky’s men we learnt an interesting story related to these men.” He relaxed a little. The atmosphere in the room was less strained, too. He smiled slightly, feeling self-importance. “In 1942, a certain woman from the Bohemian Forest made a whacky prophecy. Wait a minute.” He reached into the jacket and pulled out a little notebook. “I wrote it down, it’ll certainly amuse you. Those Slavic dogs don’t know what to do, and so they take refuge in similar nonsense.” He opened the notebook and began to read, “Government of darkness will come. After half a century of the Devil’s reign, on midsummer’s day, on the spot where he came from, two men will appear in flashes. These two warriors will end the dominance of the despot and will return natural order to the world.” During the reading, men began to smile and now some of them were even laughing aloud. “Stop it, idiots!” screamed Beck furiously. In anger, he sprang from behind his desk and severely hit the closest man’s laughing face. A deathly hush filled the room. Nobody understood what had happened. What could make the Führer so angry? This was the first time he had hit somebody in public. Beck wasn’t as angry as it might look. He was scared to death. This he had been afraid of since he had passed through the Time Gate. Since that moment, he knew this time would come one day. That someone would use the Time Gate and destroy everything he’d built. That couldn’t happen! Never! “Do you have these men?” he asked threateningly. Reich Gestapo Commander regretted he’d spoken about it. He wished he’d bitten his tongue. This innocent episode had caused the Führer’s unexpected reaction. His mouth went dry. Beck looked terrifying. “Herr Führer,” he spoke quietly, “unfortunately…” “Aloud!” yelled Beck. “Unfortunately we don’t, Herr Führer. But they probably died during the action of the Gestapo against Brezovsky. His body, as well as the newcomers, wasn’t found. The explosion probably blew them up,” he said quickly. “The explosion probably blew them up,” Beck parodied him viciously, “and that was enough for you, right?
Anton Schulz
Typically we see such hardship as an obstacle to what we think we should be—healthy, good-looking, free of discomfort. We consider suffering as annoying at best, meaningless at worst. We strive to get rid of our pains in whatever way we can. A part of us prefers the illusion that our losses are not real, that they come only as temporary interruptions. We thereby expend much energy in denial. “They should not prevent us from holding on to the real thing,” we say to ourselves.
Henri J.M. Nouwen (Turn My Mourning into Dancing: Finding Hope in Hard Times)
There is temporary discomfort in doing the unconventional. There is permanent discomfort in living life as a template.
Ankur Warikoo (Do Epic Shit)
Discomfort is temporary, lies are forever.
Penny Reid (Ten Trends to Seduce Your Bestfriend)
The better you can learn to tolerate the discomfort of anxiety and recognize it as temporary, the less it will disrupt your life. I’m not trying to tell you to surrender to your anxiety. Not by any means. You’re still here to kick this thing’s ass but fighting so hard against the anxiety head-on is not the best strategy because it fights back and then things start to snowball and get blown out of proportion.
Robert Duff (Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety)
This is the highest way to work with your inner energy—use it to grow spiritually. Use it to let go of the blockages that are keeping you trapped. It is those blockages that cause suffering. They only allow you to be okay if things are a certain way. This creates discomfort, anxiety, and fear about life. That discomfort drives people to seek all sorts of distractions, which just creates more turmoil. We all know about this cycle of disturbance and temporary relief. Now
Michael A. Singer (Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament)
The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come—not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. If there is mild relief, one knows that it is only temporary; more pain will follow. It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul. So the decision-making of daily life involves not, as in normal affairs, shifting from one annoying situation to another less annoying—or from discomfort to relative comfort, or from boredom to activity—but moving from pain to pain. One does not abandon, even briefly, one’s bed of nails, but is attached to it wherever one goes.
Kathryn Greene-McCreight (Darkness Is My Only Companion: A Christian Response to Mental Illness)
Key Points: There are situations in life and external factors that simply cannot be changed or avoided. You must accept temporary discomfort. Embrace these challenges and take comfort in knowing that many have been deterred, whilst you remain resilient and productive.

Temporary discomfort is part of the process of letting go.
Leah Cullis (Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit)
You need to accept that sometimes discipline is going to be difficult and it might feel extremely wrong, but that’s temporary. If you push through the pain and discomfort that you’ll inevitably face when you try to change your behavior, you can break bad habits and build better ones in their place. Choose attainable goals and then create a plan of action based on your personal motivation and ability as well as those of your social circles and environment. But most importantly, just get started, and don’t stop putting in the effort until discipline is as natural as breathing.
Peter Hollins (The Science of Self-Discipline: The Willpower, Mental Toughness, and Self-Control to Resist Temptation and Achieve Your Goals (Live a Disciplined Life Book 1))
Time never stops. Discomfort is temporary, but the growth on the other side of your discomfort is permanent.
Jen Gottlieb (Be Seen : Find Your Voice. Build Your Brand. Live Your Dream.)
The most important thing to know about living as a conscious being in the relative world is that challenges are temporary – they will pass through your experience. Regardless of how difficult, confusing or heavy circumstances may feel, there is always a way forward. There is always a way to come back into alignment with truth and experience peace and clarity once again. The nature of the relative world is change. Pausing and patience allow for discomforts to ease, pathways to reveal themselves and healing to happen. Truth is always available to every conscious being, right where they are, in every moment.
Purna Satya (On Reality: Questions and Answers)
If you’re always trying to avoid discomfort and temporary pain, then you’re also probably avoiding the path that will lead to your greatest happiness.
Kevin Hart (It Will All Work Out: The Freedom of Letting Go)
Whether you’re falling in love or receiving bad news at work, grieving a loss or feeling overwhelmed by the suffering in the world, you have choices both in how you relate to the experience and in how you respond. Mindfulness helps you become more conscious of your impulses in those moments. Often when times are hard (and sometimes when joy is intense), our instinctive response is to turn away from the discomfort and turn toward an external escape to take the edge off: perhaps it’s TV, pharmaceuticals, shopping, social media, or a bottle of wine. Although you might get relief, it’s only temporary. The wiser response is to bring attention to what is hard, and you can do this with mindfulness. Our freedom and happiness are in our power to choose how to show up for the life that is right here and now.

The Barf Beamers A non-lethal weapon with the potential to do untold damage is the previously mentioned "LED Incapacitator" (LEDI). Designed like a flashlight, this light saber (also dubbed a barf beamer and a puke saber) is intended to totally incapacitate the people at whom it is aimed by emitting multiple light frequencies and colors that confuse the brain, resulting in symptoms ranging from discomfort and disorientation to temporary blindness and nausea. It has been suggested
John W. Whitehead (A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State)
In the grip of perfect comfort, we are dulled to the discomfort of others. From steaming water we can think dispassionately of the Arctic. From a cool sea, the Equator is a theory. In a woman's arms, the loneliness of others has no power to chill. And so Richard Temperley, regaining his vigour beneath the rippling warmth of a hotel bath, must not be censured for his temporary inability to share in the tragedy that lay so near at hand. He was merely accumulating, in his callousness, new strength to deal with it, as you or I might have done in his place. After the bath, he dressed thoughtfully. Already his sense of responsibility had returned to him, and his resuscitated mind was grappling with its problems.
J. Jefferson Farjeon (The Z Murders)
In addition to presence we needed reassurance that our discomfort had a beginning, a middle, and an end. Whereas emotional presence is generally silent, reassurance is communicated verbally, through feelings and with touch. We actively reach out to others to let them know there is nothing wrong with what is happening. As children we believed that each experience we were having would go on forever. Wise support from our parents, in the form of reassurance, would have taught us that the difficult feelings accompanying the sense of loss and separation are temporary, that they eventually pass. We would have felt held through the experience until it came to a natural close, teaching us that feelings come in waves and will not settle permanently; what we are experiencing will not become the overriding condition of our lives.
Jett Psaris
Exercise was just that. Temporary discomfort for long-term benefit.
Matt Rogers (Imprisoned (Jason King, #2))
The nomad who walks or rides, with his baggage stowed on a camel or an ox-cart, may suffer every kind of discomfort, but at least he is living while he is travelling; whereas for the passenger in an express train or a luxury liner his journey is an interregnum, a kind of temporary death. And yet so long as the railways exist, one has got to travel by train—or by car or aeroplane.
George Orwell (The Road To Wigan Pier)
Fear of failure: What if your Ikigai leaves you broke, without a roof over your head, and unable to make the payments on your Mercedes? Your Ikigai will make you happier and more fulfilled. Failure will lose its power. You’ll be fine. Fear of success: What will life look like when your Ikigai is fully realized? Will you be unrecognizable? Your Ikigai will bring you more joy than you can ever imagine. Success will bring you to yourself. You’ll be fine. Fear of what others will think: It’s your life. No one else gets a say. Happiness is a one-person job. You’ll be fine. Fear of discomfort: When you start to learn more about your Ikigai, you might have the occasional moment of discomfort. You’ll learn stuff about yourself that might be uncomfortable. Remain calm. All discomfort is temporary. You’ve flown in economy on a long-haul flight before, haven’t you? It will soon be over. You’ll be fine. There’s only one fear that carries water in your quest for Ikigai. The fear of not finding it. You’ll figure it out. It’s already there. You just have to uncover it. Keep looking. Besides, it’s fun to keep looking! You’ll be fine.

Millions of men over 40 experience disruptive symptoms such as: * Frequent nighttime urination * Decreased urinary flow * A persistent sense of urgency * Loss of libido These are often signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. BPH affects over 50% of men in their 50s and nearly 90% of men in their 80s. ### Prostavive's Clinically Documented Benefits Prostavive is designed to address these issues with benefits including: * Supporting optimal metabolic function and energy production * Promoting a healthy inflammatory response and immune system * Enhancing cognitive clarity, focus, and mental performance * Supporting cardiovascular health and circulation * A 100% natural formula with zero reported adverse effects ### Who Should Consider Prostavive? Prostavive is specifically formulated for men experiencing age-related prostate symptoms, offering broader support for hormonal health, sexual function, and urinary performance. It is ideal for men over 40 who are noticing the effects of aging on their bladder, energy levels, and overall confidence. ### Common Prostate Problems Explained Prostate problems are often minimized until they significantly impact quality of life. Symptoms like frequent nighttime urination, weak urine stream, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying are early warning signs. ### Understanding the Pain: Why You're Really Suffering What's often overlooked is the emotional and psychological impact of prostate issues. Interrupted sleep affects cognition, energy, and mood. Chronic discomfort can erode confidence and contribute to feelings of depression or social withdrawal. ### Prostavive's Comprehensive Approach: Targeting the Root Causes The truth is that many conventional treatments only address isolated symptoms, not the underlying causes of prostate stress. Prostavive takes a different approach, targeting: * Inflammation * Blood flow * Hormonal imbalance * S

Total Control 24 is a dietary supplement formulated with natural ingredients, targeting specific physiological pathways to support prostate health.

Patients should focus on reviewing clinical trial data rather than relying solely on testimonials." - Dr. Jennifer Adams, ND, PhD, Naturopathic Research ### Understanding Prostate Health in Men Over 40 Prostate health is a critical concern for aging men. As men enter their 40s and beyond, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and lifestyle choices can impact the prostate gland, affecting urinary and reproductive health. **Common Prostate Issues:** * Frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) * Weak urine stream or dribbling * Incomplete bladder emptying * Sudden urge to urinate * Sexual performance decline **Why These Problems Occur:** Most men are unaware that an overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), declining testosterone levels, and elevated oxidative stress that inflames the prostate tissue. These biological shifts reduce urinary flow efficiency, disrupt bladder function, and can impact overall male vitality. **Lifestyle Factors That Exacerbate Symptoms:** * Poor diet * Lack of physical activity * Alcohol consumption * Chronic stress * High body fat ### How Total Control 24 Addresses Prostate Concerns Total Control 24 offers a comprehensive approach to prostate health by targeting the root causes of common issues. **TC24 addresses these issues head-on with its multi-pathway approach:** * **Hormonal balance:** Supports wholesome testosterone while reducing excess DHT * **Anti-inflammatory action:** Helps relieve prostate tissue inflammation * **Antioxidant defense:** Fights oxidative stress linked to cellular degradation Rather than simply masking symptoms, TC24 works to support: * Balancing testosterone and DHT levels * Reducing inflammation and oxidative damage * Enhancing bladder emptying and urinary comfort * Supporting long-term prostate tissue health ### Key Ingredients in Total Control 24 and Their Benefits

How the hell did I get here? is a question that I believe everybody will have to face at some point during their passage through life. Perhaps even at multiple points. For who among us has never gotten lost, much to our own embarrassment? Who has not ended up in scenarios that are frightening, alienating, shameful, and spirit-crushing? Who has not kept secrets, or been betrayed, or tried to control the behavior of others? Who has not longed for escape from suffering? And who has not reached for substances, people, behaviors, or distractions that offer temporary respite from the built-in discomforts of existence itself?

. . . the food they had gathered from Sarene's cart wouldn't last long. The wildmen would return. The numbers that came to him after Sarene were much greater than those that had followed him before. Raoden was forced to acknowledge that despite the temporary setbacks they caused, Sarene's excursions into Elantris [bringing free food to be distributed] had ultimately been beneficial. She had proven to the people that no matter how much their hunger hurt, simply feeding their bellies wasn't enough. Joy was more than just an absence of discomfort. So when they came back to him, they no longer worked for food. They worked because they feared what they would become if they did not.
