The modern world is optimized for convenience, not improvement.

The default path is usually the more convenient path. And I get it. Who wants their days to be a pain in the neck? I like sitting in air conditioned rooms and watching my favorite shows too.

But the body and mind only grow when placed under a stimulus. If you want improvement, you have to choose something different than convenience.

It can be lovely to have a day where you do not push yourself, but it rarely works out well if you have a life where you do not push yourself.
