Discomfort and Growth
It's Saturday, of a long weekend, and I just hunkered down at my computer while CRA plays background classical music during my hold, which I've been told is going to be about 2 hours...
It’s all automated of course, and my options are to wait, or to wait again another time.
So, I make a(nother) coffee, I embrace the not-so-great background music, and I tackle all the things that are still outstanding.
I make lists. I make reminders in my calendar. I write things down. I cross them off. I tear sheets of paper in half or even into quarters sometimes when I’m finished with them because it satisfies me.
It feels sometimes like we aren’t getting anything done. Aren’t getting anywhere. Should be doing something else (more productive/fruitful). The truth is though, we are where we are meant to be and doing what we are meant to be doing, or we wouldn’t be doing it…
It might take a while to figure out what/why you need/want change, but ultimately, what we think about, tell ourselves, focus on, listen to, dream of and do is what defines and creates our reality, every single day.
There’s also so much that we can’t control. For years I let things control me.
I am now in control of me. I am now responsible for me. I am now in charge of me. I now MAKE CHOICES because I’m not afraid of growth. I’m not afraid of discomfort.
Progress doesn’t always come easily or quickly or visibly. One day at a time…
“No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.”
―Agnes De Mille
Discomfort alone makes us to think wisely and shine brightly to give a spark in light when we are in dark to make things happen as part of growth and development then create a path to move forward with great zeal of enthusiasm in order to fetch the fruitful results in reality. Where there is will there is a way. Willful exercise gives willful results. Mindful exercise gives mindful results. Will gives thrill. Thrill gives skill. Skill gives ability. Ability gives strength. Be strong and stable to prove yourself as a successful individual. Struggle alone helps to determine and dedicate to sacrifice and focus more on our desired goals. There is no short cut method for success. Success if a journey not the destination.
