It’s MindSpeaka Monday!
In looking over my notes from the last week, the line that really just stood out to me was about needing to “get comfortable with being uncomfortable”.
That resonates on so many levels! So often, we get stuck not moving forward and “Leveling Up” like Ciara said, because we do not want to do what is uncomfortable. We do not want to possibly put ourselves on the spot or put what we comprehend as flaws on display.
I understand, because that is one of the reasons it took me so long with my novel. For so many years, I gave myself the excuse I needed to stay comfortable. Putting my work out there opens me up to negative reviews and criticism. Social media has made people even more ruthless with their expressions, and thinking about that can be crippling.
Despite all of that, I will be okay. It will be okay. YOU will be okay. Standing in the comfort of the shade only hides your shine. Allow yourself to be great by pushing yourself to improve. You have to go beyond to truly strive for your greatest potential.
I say “strive” because you will NEVER reach it. There will always be more to learn, do and grow from. The moment you get comfortable, you get complacent and you get left behind.
Use your discomfort as strength to project yourself forward; get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
