What I regret so much in my life and what I need to do in order to move on part 2

I don’t really like rehashing the same stuff over and over again, I don’t like dwelling on the negatives and I really want to post up constructive commentaries, not have to post up more and more negatives.

However sometimes dwelling on the negatives are important especially if they keep propping back up over and over again.

On an earlier post under the same name, I indentified lots of regret I have in my life, and some areas which I am competent at, I falsely identified that I don’t go after what I want in life, and settle for whatever life throws at me.

This is accurate to a certain extent, however it’s not really the core of the issue, the core of the issue is that I don’t like discomfort. I am afraid of situations where I may experience discomfort and try my best to avoid it, until I am forced to face these situations and then when I do throw myself out there I find that I manage to fare pretty well.

This is the reason why I am going through life at a snails pace, and if I carry on going down this path what will happen is by the time everyone else is getting married and having children, finally then will I start getting girlfriends and having an active social life.

By then, I would have let so much of life to pass me by.

This is the standard pattern of my life:

I feel like I need to do something
I can’t face the discomfort of taking action and making changes so I put my head in a cocoon.
I engage myself with comforts, fast food, television, internet streams, forums
I pass the day by just doing the things I’m good at gym, training, making passive income, eating, shopping, browsing websites
Then situation comes where I desperately need to take action on the stuff I wanted to do.
I take action and enjoy doing it for a bit, but then I get comfortable and the cycle continues.

I need to embrace the feeling of discomfort associated with taking action on my goals. I need to rewire how I respond to "discomfort" from being anxious to being exciting.
