“Discontent is the first necessity of progress.”—Thomas A. Edison
Progress (i.e., growth) begins only when we become discontent with the status quo. Growth—Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and/or Social—requires that we act. Once we determine that we are on the wrong path (and not until—until we are discontent) we can discuss words like “commitment,” “consistency,” and “determination” (determination = commitment + consistency). We can determine the course of action (i.e., plan our progressive overload) such that our discontent turns to progress that leads to a growth mindset. With a growth mindset discontent that in born in dissatisfaction become the discontent that fuels desire and continued progress.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
