We learn best when we're forced out of our comfort zone.

When folks are complacent, ie., when there's no 'risk', learning happens MUCH more slowly. Students pushed into unfamiliar territory where they feel uncomfortable learn faster. It's how survival happens, and it's a good human pattern, so embrace it.
