The Way of Openness
It’s human nature to desire comfort and security. Unfortunately, that tendency is what causes most of our problems.
We humans tend to not like uncertainty, discomfort, fear, instability, drastic change, or chaos. That’s natural and understandable. But our habit of running toward secure and comfortable choices can lead to some fairly common difficulties.
Procrastination is one common response. This usually means running from the uncertainty, discomfort, and fear of a difficult task to the comfort of distractions.
We may also put off exercising, eating healthy, meditating, decluttering, and other healthful habits because they push us into discomfort. Instead, we seek comfort.
