Tension

People don't like tension.

It makes you uncomfortable. It pushes you outside your comfort zone. Something is supposed to be easy, and then along comes tension - now you're having to work hard, deal with conflict, have tough conversations, speak in public, feel like an imposter, and overcome whatever is causing that tension.

But tension is good. It creates opportunities to grow.

Just like muscles need tension to grow stronger - each moment of resistance builds strength.

Growth follows tension.
