Stress as training

Present friction is resistance training. Use the pressure to stimulate growth instead of folding underneath it.

It's the same as lifting weights—you don't get the muscle without the stimulus. So the constraints, the squeeze, the thing pressing on you right now: those are the stimulus. Not the obstacle to the work, but the thing building you for what's next.

Don't wait for the resistance to lift before you grow. The load is the point.
