Yeah I don't really like the phrasing of this one... maybe instead 'sometimes you need to challenge your comfort levels to get to where you want to be' or something.. Not sure. But 'things you don't want to do' feels a little ick.

I get what you mean. It’s meant to be another way of saying life won’t always be easy or go through the hard to get to the good. Light at the end of the tunnel kind of thing

This motivation doesn’t work for you and that’s okay, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. This quote is saying you have to get through the hard to get to the good sometimes, it’s not about jobs

I find this take interesting because I am currently dealing with a lot of change in my life and kind of slaying the dragons, so to speak. I don’t like job hunting - the constant rejection is painful, and being ghosted and feeling like I am getting nowhere. Trying to reorganize my cluttered messy home is tough for me as a person with depression and ADHD. These things don’t challenge my comfort levels so much as they are things I don’t want to do or go through. But I fully believe that if I work hard, the results of all of this doing the stuff I don’t want to do will be the life I want.

They also lead to this depressed slug getting off the couch and exercising, to the house getting clean and wearing clean clothes, and having groceries. I don’t like most housework and I openly detest most physical activity. But…. I am healthier and mentally calmer when I force myself to do those things.

My cousin’s brother’s twice removed roommate saw this written on a wall in an abandoned insane asylum one time. Right before he ate a whole thing of pop rocks and downed an entire soda.

And that's good. But you know where I've heard that from too? Management when they've denied me days off, made me work every weekend for a year, calling at 2 a.m. to cover a shift. That's where that becomes toxic.

Maybe "sometimes you have to do things you feel too tired or bored to do right now, to get where you want to go". That way it makes clear it is just about not to be lazy/unmotivated than a blanket statement against all inhibition even though, as people pointed out in the comments, inhibition also includes moral inhibition, which is a whole different ball of wax.
