We often wish to pursue things that bring about a lasting change in our life.
During this process, often our challenge is not that we don’t have a solution to our problem but rather that the solution is one that makes us uncomfortable. And given that we have an aversion to discomfort (who wants to move out of the comfort zone?), we tend to avoid that uncomfortable but the most effective solution and keep looking for a painless and comfortable, but ineffective, answers.
Deep down we know what we need to do but due to fear-based reasons, we keep ourselves trapped in a kind of physical, mental, and emotional holding pattern. This way we end up wasting more and more of our time, potential, and energy.
Does this sound familiar?
You see, some of us have been circumnavigating change, growth, and success for years.
We talk, we plan, we intend, and we hope. Day after day.
We read such articles, nod in agreement, see ourselves in the words…but still fail to take action.
