Pain is the best teacher. By being uncomfortable and failing, you are given opportunities to grow. We don’t see these situation as opportunities because we only evaluate the first level consequences.

Like working out, the first level consequence is the pain and struggle you feel while working out, but if you look a little further down the line there are many benefits. You will feel better, live longer, and look better. This situation repeats itself throughout your life. By making a sacrifice now, you gain multiple befits in the future.
