Our brains instinctively tell us to avoid pain. I would argue that in training, as in life, I think it is impossible to achieve mastery without pain--sometimes for a long time. Though counter-intuitive, we should be LEANING INTO the pain of effort--not away.
We often avoid the rain, but rain cleanses, it makes things GROW--just like the pain of effort makes us grow. It is okay to put on a raincoat when it rains--it not okay to stay inside and AVOID the rain..and the pain...lest we deny ourselves the joy of victory.
