The Nail in the Porch: When Success Becomes a Trap

We howl. We complain. We post. We vent. We talk to our coach, our therapist, our friends. But we don’t move.

Why? Because the pain’s uncomfortable—but not enough.

The job is draining, but it pays well.
The business is burning us out, but it’s our business.
The life looks shiny on paper, so who are we to want more?

Comfort becomes the trap. Not because we’re lazy—but because we’ve convinced ourselves that moving would be worse than staying stuck.
