Comfort, the enemy of our brain

We walk towards the fridge, we effortlessly open the door and we are greeted by plenty of food readily available to us. We feel cold and we push a button and the room magically gets warmer, we feel hot and we press another button to surround ourselves with fresh air.
The comfortable life we are leading, atrophies our brain as it doesn't have to strain itself to look for solution as most of our needs are met with a minimum amount of effort. 
When life gets tough and when our back is against the wall, our brain changes gears, and its genius starts to kicks in.
We start visualizing solutions, we never thought about before, we start daring to do things we never had the bravery or the mental strength to engage into.
We become very resourceful as our brain starts to feel the seriousness and gravity of the situation.
Most people produce their best work when their lives is hard, when their livelihood is in jeopardy.
Our brain doesn't volunteer to help us unless there is a direct threat to it.
In normal circumstances, in the warmth and comfort of our houses, we would need to go through lot of pleading and coaxing to make it step in and guide us through whatever task we are involved into.

These pleading take the form of daily, repetitive tasks done over a long periods of time to convince our brain that whatever we are engaged in is important to us.

Comfort should be enjoyed after a period of exertion, it should be looked at as a resting place after long period of activity, not as a life style.
