Hey Josh,

Personal growth happens through struggles, not pleasure. You grow and become more conscious during tough moments, not relaxing under the sun.

The “It” isn’t pleasurable, but the result afterwards is what’s awesome.

When you work out, you don’t enjoy sweating, burning, exhaustion. But the boosted strength afterwards is sweet, and why you keep working out.

I’ve had very difficult people in my life who were close to me, and during those times I wished they were completely different – or that I didn’t even know them. But what I noticed later in life is that they were like training for me to grow as a person and get better at relationships with others.

I had shortcomings of my own (temper, closed-mindedness, no patience), and being thrust into those situations turbo-boosted my working on them. Like an intense bootcamp on self and relationship building. I now appreciate having those difficulties earlier, because it let me grow and become a better person faster.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Tourette’s, and how you actually appreciate it for the personal growth it gave you,
