This is how we really live life, not year by year but season by season. And we determine when our season starts and when our season ends. That is in our control and that is power.

We have the power to make complete shifts in our lives in a matter of weeks and even days, sometimes only a day. 

And the shift isn’t external, it’s an internal spiritual shift that then projects outward and changes our behaviour and therefore our day-to-day and then life. 

Sometimes we have such big hairy audacious goals that it is required that a specific season of our life must be played in order to achieve our big hairy audacious goal. This requires sacrifice and being uncomfortable most of the time but putting your mission in whatever season you are in ABOVE ALL else until completed.

We have gotten a well-known concept FALSE. A lot of people think we need to be comfortable being uncomfortable, that is a trap, and that is wrong. 

No. It’s not getting comfortable being uncomfortable, it’s still going to be uncomfortable regardless but, there is something above it (failing your mission) that’s more uncomfortable. It’s something of higher value and it’s worse to… do… nothing. 

We must accept that it’s rather ok to be uncomfortable and that it is a normal natural feeling we human beings experience along the journey. It’s not always going to be happy smiles, many things will creep in including self-doubt.

Remind your-self of the mission you are on right now. Put reminders everywhere, get it into your sub-conscious and from there when an uncomfortable feeling creeps in, the mission will come to the front of your mind, refocusing you on the bigger picture, WHY you are doing this.

Some seasons require major sacrifice, cutting out friends, family, even romantic relationships, and that is never a comfortable feeling, sometimes major pain, but what is more major pain, not completing the mission?

You have to weigh up what you’re willing to sacrifice. There is no right or wrong answer, but it does come down to one question…

How badly do you want it?

Until next time,
