+What are you optimising for?
+
+If you had to pick one, which would you choose?
+
+Truth or comfort?
+
+Will you open yourself to the reality of the situation and embrace it, or wrap yourself in your duvet and hide?
+
+I've come to believe that the raw, honest answer to this question can accurately predict most of how our lives will go.
+
+Choose truth, and accept pain, accept reality not aligning with our perfect little world, expect hard work as a result.
+
+Choose comfort, and accept atrophy, accept nice stories that make us feel warm and fuzzy, but don't correlate to reality, expect future pain as a result.
+
+This dichotomy shows itself in every area of our lives.
+
+Will we have the hard conversation in that relationship, or will we compromise and let it slide?
+
+Will we question the worldview we were given as a child, or seek answers that confirm what we want to be true, regardless of whether it is?
+
+Will we look ourselves in the mirror, and acknowledge where our health is really at?
+
+The truth seeker knows the trade off.
+
+It feels the lure of comfort.
+
+And truth be told, it misses it, sometimes.
+
+Not the path it leads you on, which is towards destruction, towards entropy.
+
+But the in-the-moment feeling, the self-deception that rolling over in bed, hitting snooze and missing that work out won't really have an impact on your life.
+
+And sure, small blips aren't that consequential, we all have ups and downs in life. Missing one workout won't make any noticeable difference.
+
+It's not about playing the perfect game. Not every season is one of "going hard".
+
+But truth and comfort lie at opposite ends of the spectrum, like the north and south pole.
+
+And us, like magnets, will be pulled towards that which we crave the most.
+
+Our mindset will dictate what we gravitate towards.
+
+Truth or comfort.
+
+Which one will you choose?
