What is the torture you can endure?

“Why should I endure any torture?
I want to be happy all the time”
Let’s try again:
what discomfort are you ready to endure,
in service of what you truly,
desperately want?

(Silence)
“Does it have to be this way?”

Yes!

Whatever action we take, needs us to get out of our comfort zone,
would you agree?

Inertia or status quo is the biggest obstacle we have to cross

” Discomfort is the price of admission to everything meaningful in life”

Susan David

That’s just the start
For every freedom, you seek,
you need to work against your habitual patterns,
this means friction, resistance and
your efforts to move past that

Your actions will eventually become routines
till that time, its action, action, action
every moment, every day

There will be times you will have to wait,
wait and have patience for things to fructify

The mind will play its tricks,
“It’s not working, let’s move on” it will say
you will have to wait, you will have to be still

You will have to bear the torture of
waiting
pushing against the resistance
people around you saying drop it
your own voice saying “not worth it, move on”

And you will endure it
you will take action
because you know

That whatever meaningful state you want
is beyond the hurdle called resistance
is outside your comfort zone
is beyond the door called Fear
