Growing Pains Are Temporary

There are so many things to be grateful for on a daily basis, that if one was to pay attention to the details of all of  them it could take a considerable amount of time.  For the most part we live out our days on a type of schedule that quickly overshadows the many important moments in our lives.  I have spoken before about the importance of meditation as a way to re-center yourself and listen to the deepest part of you that enables you to be connected to your mind, body and soul.  When you take a moment that is truly for that specific purpose, the silence can be very revealing if you listen to what your thoughts are telling you.  The majority of time we all are equipped with this internal mechanism to be able to address or solve our own problems.  The issue is whether we truly want to listen to ourselves when those moments of silence are trying to reveal something to us.  Many individuals would rather ignore that voice that speaks to them about how they should proceed with a particular issue.  The comfort of knowing and being complacent with where you are at versus the unknown, can tilt the scales in favor of remaining in a chaotic state that is familiar.  Life changes are never easy as they bring about a lot of our insecurities, however, not changing into the person that you were meant to be, can also leave you with an uninspired taste for life.  If you begin counting the things that you are grateful for, it becomes evident in a short period of time that you actually can have a lot more positive things going for you than you think.  Having perspective of what is truly meaningful to you and letting go of the things that way you down can ultimately add years of longevity along with peace of mind.  Let go of those things that are no longer worth your time and focus on those things that truly are inspiring to you.  If a little discomfort occurs as a result of your new actions, think about it as a short burst of growing pains.  Ultimately, they only last for that small time period and the end result can be much more positive. One should strive to achieve and do their best and in order for this to occur, being resolved along with taking the necessary steps to get to your goal is a must.  Do not spend any more time on thinking about the "what if" scenarios that may permeate your thinking.  Simply take a firm step and have faith that where you are headed is going to be the place that you ultimately want to be.
