I am reading 101 Essays that will Change the Way You Think and in it, Brianna Wiest writes, “grief is a faster teacher than joy.” Similarly, so are the pants that don’t fit right or the outfit that is too much or too little – we get it real quick. However, there is something to be said for being a little uncomfortable. It’s how we grow, discover ourselves and our potential. There is a t-shirt brand called Seek Discomfort. Which is also the founders’ philosophy and they have used it to push themselves to get uncomfortable – in the name of growth – and over time found that they had indeed become happier and more fulfilled. Wardrobe is a tool to help you live your life the way you want in both small and sometimes monumental ways. If built well, it can help you get uncomfortable and find your potential while being comfortable. Wiest also writes, “unmet potential becomes pain.” Indeed. I am often told, “I wore this on my (important day) and felt amazing! I finally wore (this) and it felt so good! I am wearing (what you told me to) and I’m so ready for this!” I love these moments and I love helping create them.
Dis/comfort. What are you wearing?
