When we begin to take a close, hard, and honest look at our life, we tend to justify why we do some of the things we do and some of the people in our circle. Being honest with ourselves is hard because we begin to realize that we need to let go of some things and people and letting go is tough. The reason that letting go is so hard is because in order to let go, we are letting go of what has become comfortable in our life. Real change seems to only happen when we let go of what is not adding value to our lives.
When we evaluate what is holding us back in life, we tend to ask, "What is wrong with_______?" This is just us justifying why to hold on to that thing or person. What is wrong with going to the bar every weekend? What is wrong with watching my shows? All these questions are doing, is allowing us an excuse to hold onto these things that are comfortable to us, even though they are holding us back. We deserve better things and people in our life and yet we hold onto the very things that are hurting us.
It's time to change our line of questioning. We need to ask what is right with these people and things. Are they really adding value to our lives? What's right with going to the bar every weekend? What's right with spending so much time watching your shows? Sure, this takes some brutal honest with ourselves and that can be tough. Don't be afraid of this line of questioning. Stop trying to to place a value on what you will gain, it's an unknown value. We can only know the value of what we are losing because it has been a part of our life. The value of what will enter our lives when we let go of what is not adding to our lives cannot be determined because we have not ever had it. Stop allowing yourself the luxury of comfort, time to get uncomfortable and grow.
Adapt, Improvise, And Overcome to become your best because you deserve it.
