Comfort Feels Good, Until It Doesn't

Choosing a values-based living to break the avoidance cycle

Imagine you’re embarking on a train trip to your desired destination. When you get to the station, you’re faced with a choice between two trains. One appears a bit old, with uncomfortable and slightly dirty seats, the other looks much more comfortable and induces reliability. You immediately make up your mind: you opt for the second train.

While you wait to board this nice-looking train, which is not accepting passengers yet, the first one departs with some passengers on board. You keep waiting for the comfortable train to board while another older train leaves the station, and then yet another. You’re still waiting for a chance to take this nice train to go where you want to go.
