Read along with the original article(s) here: https://simpleandstraightforward.substack.com/p/the-quiet-power-of-rejecting-comfort Quotes to ponder: "If you want to level up your contentment and happiness, reset your comfort levels and lower your expectations." "Our expectations of what we want from our home, our car, and our stuff is sky-high, exactly because of Comfort Creep." "Lowering expectations goes against everything we’re taught and yet it is one of the most effective ways to experience contentment, happiness, and gratitude."
