Pumping iron,
doing pushups, bending backwards in Dhanurasana…
It’s not pleasure your body feels. It’s stress.
But at the end of the day, you get a great body.
Studying for an exam,
burning the midnight oil, worrying about your performance…
It’s not pleasure your mind feels. It’s stress.
But at the end of day, you get an education.
Approaching a woman,
not caring about  people watching, asking for her number…
It’s not pleasure you feel. It’s stress.
But at the end of the day, you feel like a real man
(you may get laid too, but that’s just a bonus).
——————————–
All growth happens through stress.
Keep that in mind the next time you hesitate to approach that cutie because you find it stressful.
