Comfort is the silent killer of career ambition

We often face a crucial choice at every major career crossroad: The growth we desire vs. the comfort we currently enjoy.

Too often, we choose comfort, then conveniently label the results of that choice “bad luck.” We see others achieve their goals and attribute it to chance, rather than recognizing the courageous decisions they likely made along the way.

The truth is, “luck” in our careers is often a product of stepping outside our comfort zones and embracing calculated risks.

Let’s stop using “bad luck” as an excuse. Choose growth. Choose courage.
