I think it was Osho who said, Avoid comfort. It is in facing difficulty that we grow. My Buddhist teacher calls it titration, leaning into discomfort, by increments.

I needed to search what that meant, and discovering it am pleased how your teacher married a scientific term with Buddhist philosophy. Then, if I remember, they're very interdisciplined (Haha.)

You know I did the same, went and looked it up and found the scientific definition. He taught us neuroscience far more than the dharma. Really feel lucky to have spent a year learning from him.
These maxims are rather sublime, my friend.

Not that I'm a student of Buddhism, yet, however I find that very appropriate somehow. To draw learning from any source that can offer insight. Even when it's off-topic (Haha.)
Thank you, Daniel. Though I hope they can be 'unpleasant' at times, too, and not overly polished.
