Good morning and welcome to the Increase Reimpaq Podcast. I'm Justin Seua, episode 1,769.

Today I was thinking about the two kinds of pains. Now, it's a quote that I don't know who to attribute it to, but I was thinking about this quote that there are two types of pain, the pain of discipline

and the pain of regret.

And I think that's incredibly powerful.

There might be somebody listening to this and you are overwhelmed by thinking about the

amount of work and dedication and discipline it takes to pursue your goals.

And it is painful.

And if you don't get the results or if you don't achieve your goals, it is painful.

It's agonizing because you put so much time and effort and sacrifice into doing it.

Or there's a different kind of pain, the pain of regret, the pain knowing that you could

have pursued what you loved.

You could have went after your goals.

You could have went after your dreams, but you decided not to because you were afraid of

failure.

The odds were stacked against you.

People were telling you don't go the safe route.

And you listen to them.

And years passed and you look back and you think to yourself, I should have given it a shot.

Because even if you give it your best shot and come up short, you still take with you all of the lessons that you learned, all of the strength that you gained from doing that hard thing, you can take it with you for the rest of your life in every aspect of your life.

And so today my invitation to you is to consider the tradeoff between the

pain of discipline versus the pain of regret. And although it might be the pain of discipline

might be more painful now because it's here in the present, jump into that mental time machine and go back, go forward, 10 years, 20 years, if you possibly can.
