Why I choose uncomfortable....

When someone puts their finger in your face. When you are trying to find a comfortable position in bed. When you're trying to go to sleep on a hard couch. When someone tickles your feet. For some, when you go to new surroundings. When you are going up the hill on a roller coaster. When you're flying for the first time. When you drive for the first time. When you try new foods. When learning a new language. What do all these scenarios have in common? All of them are uncomfortable to someone and in order to tackle and overcome them, they all take MOVEMENT.

It is a blessing to be uncomfortable. I love being uncomfortable in life now, because that causes me to get creative and get out of the situation I'm in and seek what I desire in my life. Without being uncomfortable, I would be stuck in some comfortable places I don't need to be in.

For years, I had the desire to start my own business and to step out in ministry. I allowed fear to keep me in a state of comfort and ultimately settling. I can remember having the desire to send my daughters to great colleges without worrying about money, I wanted my dream home in the city I wanted to live, I wanted to travel, and I wanted the life I dreamed about since I was a little girl. It took my thinking about those things and not being able to have them for me to MOVE forward in the uncomfortable.

It takes stepping outside of yourself sometimes to get progress. I was personally one of those types of people that would overthink and talk myself out of a blessing. I found peace in the excuse and I clothed myself in fear. I found comfort in saying that it just wasn't the right time. When I had the defining moment that I create the life I want to live. I haven't turned back ever since. That statement didn't just help me with business, but it advanced my way of thinking in every aspect of my life.

So, now, no more excuses! Take charge of your now and your future self will thank you! Last example and I'm done. I can remember on the days when I was broke. I had loved ones that needed my help and I couldn't even help myself. I can remember wanting something to eat or wanting to go out with my friends and I had no money. I can also remember the times when things like this happened and I had money to spare to get the repairs on the car that were needed. I liked being able to handle my business myself. I can say this, the wanting and the not having caused me to get creative. I did not want to settle. I saw better for my life and the life I gave my daughters. The wanting was uncomfortable and caused me to move!

So always see the blessing in being uncomfortable. Stretch yourself and do what you want to create the life you desire!

Keep dreaming, Keep doing,
