Life is far from easy.
Life gets even harder when we are trying to live differently.
Different can mean different things to different people.
Sitting back and watching life can seem comfortable but, is it really comfortable?
As a mom of a toddler I was trying my best to spend as much time with my son as possible, ignoring my own health and well-being.
As a working mom I have struggled to allow myself time for me, ignoring my own emotional well-being.
As a writer I have struggled to allow my voice to be heard in an already noisy world.
As a speaker I have struggled to believe anyone would want to hear anything I have to say.
As a wife I have struggled to believe that our marriage can be different from the statistics.
Are any of these situations comfortable?
Maybe if I did not focus on them I could be comfortable with a lack of knowledge but, I would have to disagree with the notion that ignorance is comfortable.
Life is uncomfortable.
Unless you stay stuck drowning your sorrows and anxiety with drinking, pills, shopping or gambling (to name a few).
But, let’s get real… an active or inactive life is uncomfortable.
So, why do we give up when we are in process of making changes in life.
Do you dream of a healthier body?
Do you dream of a more satisfying career?
Do you pray for better relationships?
Do you pray for a softer tone with your children?
Do you wish for more time in your day?
Do you wish for better days?
In order to reach for any change it will get uncomfortable.
We just have to choose to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.
We have to choose our uncomfortable.
Did you hear that?!
I can choose to walk around sore and in pain from working out or I can choose to walk around feeling fluffy and out of breath.
I can choose to be honest and real with family members or I can choose to stuff my feelings.
In both these situations there is an uncomfortable no matter what I choose.
Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable is easier when we realize that being uncomfortable will get us to our goals and dreams.
Wake up and choose to pick the uncomfortable that will get you to the life you have been dreaming of living.
Comfortable is an illusion that will keep you stuck.
Comfortable is a lie.
Comfortable is something that will not happen without the uncomfortable.
Get up.
Make a choose.
And stop looking back and wondering what if!!
Today is a new day!
Be the best YOU possible!!
