discomfort

being wrong is terrifying. being uncomfortable is worse. but i'm starting to think that's where all the good stuff happens.

here's what sparked this: last week, i spent three days convinced my approach to some code refactor was brilliant. turns out, i was completely wrong. my first instinct? defend my position. my second? realize this feeling - this mix of embarrassment and discomfort - was exactly what i needed.

think about two scenarios:

the difference? being willing to be wrong. being okay with discomfort.

what I'm trynna do? run towards what makes me squirm. if sharing that thought/code/request makes me nervous, it's probably worth sharing.

my guess: being wrong + being uncomfortable + showing up anyway = where the magic happens.

what's making you uncomfortable right now? maybe that's exactly where you need to focus.
