Push Through Uncomfortable

When you find something to be a bit beyond your comfort level, there are several things you can do. You can ask someone, who may know more, for some guidance, or you can carry on trying to figure it out on your own. Some people, many I believe, will just stop trying, give up and do other things that are easier or within their comfort zone.

However, where you get your greatest growth to propel you to the next level of thinking and life, is when you push through uncomfortable feelings and grow as a person.

Look Behind The Stories

Who is telling the story? What is your bias towards them? If you like them, trust them, or are comfortable with them, you are very likely to agree with whatever they say. You will not look deeper, and simply assume they are telling you the truth.

You really need to

Feel But Then Think

We feel first. But do we reflect on those feelings properly and often enough?

We have an ability to understand ourselves better yet few people take the pause to really consider this.

If you feel harshly about someone, what is the real feeling from? Don’t consider why you think you feel that way. Rather, try to understand what it is that is creating the actual feeling for you.

Best For Who?

The greatest good. That is a great phrase.

Listening to some politicians and journalists, you might think they only want what is best for themselves or the party / media outlet they work for.

What happened to the greatest good? Was it ever there even?

Ideally we would have people working for the greatest good of the most people while allowing any others to still thrive.

Unfortunately we have a lot of, “my way is the only way” thinking and actions which demonstrate some people would rather destroy others than lose power or adjust philosophically to accommodate more people.

When this happens, two tribes go to war. If you’re at all in a warring camp, blinded by fear, hate, distrust and disproportionate criticism, then try to pull out of this before it goes any further.

It is often hard to see our own destructiveness and personal challenges, but look inward, and see how you can help balance conversations and act for the greatest good.

The World Is Shifting

There are big changes happening and also little ones. Open your eyes and see. Left moves right and right moves left. The world will remain in balance as it always does.

Sometimes it’s concerning for one group of people while others seem to excel. Eventually though things shift back the other way.

Occasionally it takes longer for the pendulum to swing back, but it always does.

Don’t try to push things too far one way or the other because you’ll really feel the whiplash SnapBack. There are lots of examples in history and probably plenty you can think of from your own experience too.

The Weather

Are you happy it’s hot right now? Would you rather it be cooler? Or hotter still?

In winter, many people want it to be warmer and in summer, many people want it to be cooler.

Try really enjoying the lovely aspects of what you have at the moment. Soon enough it will be gone again and you’ll be wishing it was back. Enjoy the moment while it’s here. Look for the positives and you will find them.

What were you hoping for in winter when it was cold, dark and wet outside? Isn’t it warm, bright and dry at the moment? Love that.

Find Joy In Work

Whether it’s from great discipline, making something of value or beauty, or even from accomplishing something, find your joy.

The more joy you find in your work, the better you’ll become at it and the more success you’ll have.

Starting Is Hard Or Easy?

Starting a project is easy. Finishing is hard. Starting to revise schoolwork for an exam is hard but building momentum is easier.

Hard now can make it easier later. Easier now could mean hard later.

Whether it is easy or hard to start, start anyway. Start now.
