A Lesson to Remember
I learned something powerful today.
I was talking to a close friend who's going through a really challenging time. She finds herself in a situation that’s poisoning her and some members of her family, and she doesn't have the courage yet to make a change. She confided in me that she feels emotionally paralyzed, just letting things roll, accepting what comes.
As I listened to her, a realization hit me. Letting things "just happen" isn’t about acceptance; it's often rooted in deep fear and doubt.

The Comfort of the Known vs the Discomfort of the New
It’s easier to endure the discomfort we already know well than to confront the daunting pain of making a tough decision that could lead to a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Therefore, I realized that sometimes the most painful decisions are the ones that guide us to the most meaningful lives.
It takes immense courage to choose a path that might sting now but will ultimately enable us and those we love to grow and thrive.
Throughout our lives, we might often find ourselves at crossroads. While the easier route may appear tempting, it’s essential to recognize the importance of making choices that align with our true selves.

Change is never easy, but it’s often necessary for our growth.
The lesson I wrote down, to remember: within the discomfort lies the potential for a more authentic and fulfilling life. All we have to do is to embrace it!
