this title alone is going to make people uncomfortable and that is exactly why it works. you identified the paradox that comfort is the most effective anaesthetic for growth.
what struck me is that the "nothing is wrong" state is not actually peace - it is a negotiation. the mind has quietly agreed to accept less in exchange for not having to feel the terror of change. and the body cooperates because familiar pain requires less energy than unfamiliar possibility. people stay in lives that are slightly too small not because they lack ambition but because their system has decided that "fine" is safer than "what if."
the shift you are pointing at - from reaction-based to choice-based living - requires tolerating a very specific kind of discomfort. the discomfort of having no crisis to hide behind.
this is exactly what happens. It is why I will never use the word laziness ever again. the discomfort is the hardest part. it's not huge it just quietly hums in the background. do you feel this?
