COMFORT VS. CHANGE

We all have something that we really enjoy. It could be a favorite chair, a favorite shirt, pair of pants, or favorite pair of shoes. In the kitchen, you probably have a favorite plate, a favorite mug, and a favorite glass. Nothing is wrong with having a favorite anything. What I want you to think about is the feeling you get when you use your favorite thing or you are in your favorite place. More than likely, you like it so much because you feel in control and totally comfortable with the favorite thing. This feeling of comfort can turn out to be a bad thing if it is preventing you from experiencing the change you need to make to get something you never had or do something you’ve never done. Until I am very uncomfortable with the weight I want to lose, it won’t get lost. If someone is comfortable living paycheck to paycheck, they have no incentive to change their financial conditions. If someone is unhappy in a relationship but they are comfortable enough that they aren’t miserable, they will probably stay in that relationship. Making a change can be very hard, and change can be impossible for some. But for those who want something different than what they presently have, change, and sometimes great change, is mandatory.
