This post and the part about trying makes me think of one of my favorite quotes from the movie "The Rock" with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage

John Mason: [while on the stairs leading to the prison morgue] Are you sure you're ready for this?
Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best.
John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.

I think it speaks a lot to that whole getting out of your comfort zone thing and actually doing the uncomfortable try versus the comfortable try.

Carla was the prom queen.

Greatness doesn't come from comfort. But I think, even without looking for greatness - not much comes from comfort.

Haha, such a good movie! I remember seeing it in the theater the first time. Bed sores, those might come from comfort. Seems like there is a good analogy there...

Trust me, you don't... My buddy just finished up his visits to the wound clinic after several months from bed sores.
