Still Uncomfortable

One of the things about living with purpose is discomfort. Possessing an unyielding ability to be uncomfortable is vital. I’ve been living this way for several years and I’ve grown tired. It’s not that there’s something wrong with me or my purpose or the daily progress towards its fulfillment, but rather, there’s a time when my human side struggles to align with my spiritual being.

Spiritually, I know I’m doing what’s required. I have no doubts the path I’m walking is the one laid forth by my Creator. I may be wrong, but all signs point to the ease of entry into the next phase when, in times past, I’ve experienced something quite different. Those experiences plus a few others are confirmation I’m on the right path and doing the right thing. But alas, I am only human.

I have a desire for gratification. I have a desire for success. I have a desire to be comfortable. To ease the strains of day to day life. Seldomly will I complain. As I said, I know this is my path and mine alone. But it doesn’t stop my human desires. I will not let the things of the flesh, so to speak, decay and erode by greater spiritual self. It’s challenging and it probably should be this way. If not for the discomfort, if not for the resorting of priorities, if not for the constant and unyielding pressure,, everyone would do it. I would not be one of the exceptional. I would blend in like everyone else.

I know I am His favorite child. Others do not know. They are in darkness about their abilities and the grace He has bestowed upon them. So they have comfort through ignorance. I do not! So my spiritual self will continue to push forward supplanting human desires, knowing my present is temporary, as are all things.

Today, Monday, September 26, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’m aware of my purpose and I’m moving towards it. It’s uncomfortable but my feelings are irrelevant. My actions are what matter.

I got a chance to watch football this morning. It’s part of the reason I’m writing this after lunch as opposed to first thing in the morning. I am still ok with a slow start to the day during football season.

I got a chance to talk to Dale yesterday. Not entirely sure about his predictions for the future and I don’t have to be certain. I have to focus on the present, knowing my bet efforts today, build a better tomorrow.

Are you comfortable?

Are you certain you’ve done all you were meant to do?

If not, what steps can you take today to move towards those uncompleted tasks?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
