comfortable in the uncomfortable

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
Tony Robbins

I can stay focused on the fact that I haven’t written in over a month or I can focus on writing now. I choose the latter. I have to say that my life has completely changed from when I started writing this blog a year ago. I went from having some ideas of a direction I wanted to take my life and now I have that down to the degree in which to do that. It feels good. I feel more attuned to myself, more present to this life that I am creating.
It doesn’t mean I haven’t been challenged. I am challenged every time I facilitate a ropes course. I am challenged by my own ability to do it “right” and more importantly questioning if I am doing the “right” thing. My ego goes nuts. So the enlightened part of me knows this is a good thing. Challenging yourself and what you think your limits are is a good thing. It’s easy to live within your boundaries. For some that’s physical boundaries and for some that’s emotional boundaries. I am getting more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I know that if I am going to be someone who really makes a difference in peoples’ lives then there can’t be any stone left unturned.

I made a decision to do what I love; to support people in having a life that they love. It brings me such joy to help someone recognize their gift to the world. It absolutely lights me up to watch someone realize that they can choose happiness. I am committed to this path and I am seeing where my flexibility in getting there makes all the difference. I say this because I think it’s important to ask yourself what you’re committed to. What do you want for your life and what do you want in your life? You can have it. Whatever it is, you can have it, you just have to be willing to walk the path and be flexible with how things show up and willing to keep going anyway.

Today, ask yourself what are you are committed to? And then ask yourself, how committed are you? Are you willing to do what’s necessary? Are you willing to be uncomfortable so that you can stretch beyond your comfort zone?

Today I am grateful that I can write. Today I am grateful for an abundant life where I get to go back to school, work with people on challenge courses and take coaching workshops.
