Comfort Is The Real Cage

Issue #007 – Comfort Is The Real Cage

💡 The Red Pill Moment

Freedom doesn’t always start with a leap.

Sometimes, it begins with a whisper:

“This can’t be it…”

Then:

• You hit snooze 3 times.

• You sit in another pointless Zoom call.

• You find yourself Googling “how to make money online”… again.

But here’s the truth:

Most people don’t stay stuck because they’re lazy.

They stay stuck because it’s comfortable.

Comfort is the real cage.

And it’s time you broke out.

✍️ Your Escape Move: Audit Your Comfort Triggers

Comfort shows up like this:

• “I’ll start on Monday.”

• “Let me tweak the logo again.”

• “I’m not ready yet.”

Your move this week:

1. Write down your top 3 comfort habits that are slowing your progress.

2. Replace them with micro-actions.

   e.g. “Instead of tweaking my site, I’ll DM 3 potential customers.”

🔥 Progress doesn’t need to be loud. It needs to be real.
