Do you think important things should always feel comfortable?

A little tension or boredom is the "entry fee" for important things.

⚡ TRY IT

How hard does it feel? Set it, then try to go in.

🎡Something important
🚧
Discomfort level 2
😌 Nothing at all 🥱 A little boring 😬 A little nervous 😣 A bit hard 😫 Very hard 😱 Way too much
The fee is paid in 🪙. Tap + or − first.
😌 Free entry? Lucky! But important things usually have a small fee.
✅ Fee paid. Welcome in! The fun is inside. 🎉
🚧 That fee is too high. Maybe this is the wrong ride. It is OK to stop and check.
Pay and Enter

If you pay it, you can go inside.

Too Much?

But if it is very, very hard, it may be a sign that you are doing the wrong thing.
