Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
“Comfort and growth can not coexist” has been my experience. Each and every situation I’ve experienced which yielded growth opportunities resulted in me being uncomfortable. It’s not fair. It’s not cool. I don’t like it and all the other things I’ve said to myself and aloud to others is akin to a kid throwing a tantrum.
I’m entering another evolution. It’s time to do things I haven’t done before. It’s time to sleep less, be restless, anxious, irritable, and a few other emotions that escape me at the moment. I’ve done it before and I’m unafraid. Those feelings are fleeting at best. The growth; however, remains.
Doing those things required is more and more challenging. I’ve settled into a routine here over the last few years. I’ve been working on concepts, ideas, and creating. Now I must enter building mode. Leading is not just creating, but walking across the finish line. Ideation is a great thing. Manifestation is something entirely different. It’s uncomfortable. It’s unfamiliar. Yet, I’m ignoring those fleeting feelings and walking towards my objective.
Today, Thursday, January 19, 2023, I am grateful that:
Herb and I had our weekly conversation. He’s embarked on another chapter and I’m so happy for him. He’s started another endeavor. It’s baffling that at his age, he’s got this zest for life and boundless energy for tackling new opportunities.
We both shared similar experiences about communing with our Creator. It’s great to share with a fellow believer. Unmarred by religion mandates. One human, speaking with another, about their experiences with a Force greater than us both. Truly a human experience.
Tony and I got a chance to do some brainstorming last night. It’ll be interesting to see how this manifests. I’m not stopping, nor will I slow down. As I move forward though, it’s important for me to have those along for the journey I’m able to trust. With him, I know that will never be an issue.
Can you ignore your feelings of anxiety, depression, restlessness, irritability and the like?
I know you can. Push forward despite those feelings. The benefits on the other side of those emotions are so great. You, as I have, will be grateful you did not relent.
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
