Embrace

your pain

I

n his excellent advice on how to run a marathon,

(page 101), legendary ultra runner Dean

Karnazes says: “Somewhere along the line we

seem to have confused comfort with happiness.”

That is so true. Our culture is fixated with

comfort and convenience. From moving sidewalks to

electric can openers, we are told that less is the way

to go. Less pain, less work and less effort supposedly

equal better. But that’s not the case at all. Otherwise,

why would people climb mountains (page 96) or

become obsessed with CrossFit (page 46)?

The truth is, pushing past pain, settling into discomfort

and embracing effort are what lifts us beyond the

every day. Once again Karnazes nails it when he says:

“Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth

living. If you’re not pushing yourself beyond the

comfort zone, if you’re not demanding more from

yourself — expanding and learning as you go — you’re

choosing a numb existence. You’re denying yourself

an extraordinary trip.”

I hope you enjoy this issue, our 100th. Here’s to the

next 100! Stay strong.
