I felt like making this post because I feel like with ZP it’s important this is emphasized.
As a community we should encourage the most effective way to get results without going through intense recon. These subs should be tools to enhance your life, not slam you down and drag you through the mud while trying to grow. That’s old world mentality. Just because something is difficult doesn’t make it inherently better.
While we can all congratulate ourselves making it through dark episodes, I don’t think it should be encouraged to go through those or set up the expectation that this is what needs to happen for growth. And when someone doesn’t want to experience those things I think it’s perfectly fine. Instead of telling them to power through, alternative strategies should be proposed. Everyone is at a different place, what’s doable for you may not be doable for another person at that point in time.
If you grow at a rate of say 2x and another grows at 10x, you’re still growing. It’s better to continue at that rate of 2x vs pushing yourself for 10x and causing massive issues in your life.
Now a caveat here is that if you personally want to go through a very difficult challenge, that’s fine. Some people do well with that. All I’m proposing is we not make that the default approach.
