Happiness often begins with first being a little uncomfortable.
Whenever you’re in a situation that feels uncomfortable to you, that
feeling is coming from one of two places: either your soul communicating
to you or your ego self communicating at you.
There are three general reasons why you would feel uncomfortable.
The first is the normal human response to danger… fire is hot, look both
ways before crossing the street, don’t trust this person, etc.
The second is from the ego self, which stems from what I call false
fear, which is a fear of something that is not true. This false fear
mostly arises when we are assuming. When we assume, we usually assume
the worst about some situation or person. Have you noticed 9 times out
of 9 we are wrong?! Simple fix… stop assuming anything about anything!
The third type of discomfort also comes from our ego and is another
type of false fear. It arises when we want to do something healthy for
ourselves — physically, emotionally or spiritually.
Example: you want to work out to get in shape & lose weight, so
you start thinking about how you really need to do so and decide you are
going to start today. Then, the ego voice says, “You didn’t sleep well
enough last night, so you probably won’t have a good workout. Why not
wait until tomorrow?” That tomorrow turns into next week, next week
into next month, and now that ego voice says, “You are too out of shape
to work out; it will be too difficult; it’s much easier to lift the
phone and order a pizza, followed by a big bowl of ice cream!”
