From what I’ve always learned, you can’t get to the next lesson in life until you’ve learned the current lesson. Some people stay stuck in a rut for a long period of time because they just don’t get it. They haven’t discovered a new solution to a known issue that they live with. I speak for myself (from experience). And the only way to overcome the current issue is to go beyond oneself and do something which might even seem out of charachter.
I know it’s hard and it HURTS! But not all growth comes from love and good feelings. For a muscle to grow, it has to be torn through the process of lifting weights – then it gets cramps! After that, it needs to rest a little… and eventually it can lift the same weight a little easier and move on to a higher weight. But know that the muscle didnt grow through giving it love and whispering sweet little nothings at it. It had to go through a process which included pain to become stronger.
For myself, it is difficult to experience change. I find comfort in some routine things – especially since I’m getting older. And whenever a new nuance is introduced to the dynamic of a relationship, it makes sense that it won’t be met with a ‘yippee! woohoo attitude’. But i’ve found that if i think about the fact that a change has to be made, i’d be more readily agreeable to it. This way i’ll be prepared to deal with something new. That goes the same to anyone else out there who is stubborn.
woo hoo!
