You get less competent the more you run away from challenges

Self Confidence Secrets |
Believe it or not, personal competence is actually like a
muscle. If you haven't been to a gym before and you start lifting weights, what
do you think will happen?
Well, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that in
the morning, you're not going to feel all that well. It seems like your muscles
are aching all over the place. It's like they're screaming at you to stop
working out.
You put a tremendous amount of pressure on muscles that are
not used to that stress and pressure. What do you think will happen? That's
right, a lot of pain. The secret here is that you must work through the pain.
A lot of people are under the impression that if their body
is telling them that it's in pain that this is their signal to stop. This is
the most common mistake rookies make. When you listen to your body, you're
basically listening to that part of yourself that is telling you to take it
easy. You're listening to that part of yourself that does not want to be
stressed, confronted and challenged.

What do you think it will ask for? That's right. It will ask
for you to take it easy. It will ask you to do something else that is more
pleasurable. It's going to ask you to just lay off anything that may involve
discomfort, inconvenience or sacrifice.
But it turns out that if you want to make the pain go away,
you go to the gym and lift more weights. Sure, it feels like murder the next
day, but if you keep going, the pain evaporates. It turns out that the pain is
temporary. It's the small price you pay to achieve higher levels of muscle
discipline and strength.
The same applies to your competence. If you want to just
focus on your current level of expertise and knowledge, you're not going to
improve. You're not going to be curious about what else is out there. You're
not going to challenge what you think you know. You're not going to break
things apart and try to put them back together and figure out how to connect
the dots and see the big patterns.
You're not going to achieve any of that. Those are the
things that will take your knowledge to the next level. Those are the things
that will enable you to become a greater expert and authority in whatever field
you're in.
Unfortunately, a lot of people think that they can coast or
take it easy based on their current level of expertise. They end up running
away from challenges. They focus on the things they know. They focus on the
“tried and proven.”
Unfortunately, the more they do this, the less competent
they become because the value of their knowledge erodes over time. Also, if you
don't want to challenge yourself, chances are you're not going to figure out
better ways to articulate what you already know.
