Your Desire is Greater

Sometimes we just have to go through the storm so that we can arrive on the other side of it that much faster. We can poke around about it and keep ourselves in a miserable situation longer than we need to, and often tend to do, if we're being completely honest here. Or sometimes we really just want to hunker down and refuse to move at all, leaving our future and fate in the winds of the storm. 

But why surrender control over your own life in ways that you still can, like choosing to grow and move further in your life even through the inevitable growing pains? Wouldn't it be so much more beneficial and rewarding for you to know that your pain has served you to the better future you envision for yourself? Pain is inevitable, so when you must feel it, use it to endure than much more in life. Use your pain to strengthen you for the storms to come and know that your desire is so much greater than anything that might stand in your way of happiness. 

That doesn't mean pain is instantly over with just because we choose how or when to experience it and overcome it. Maybe it's laziness that we've replaced with the excuse of convenience because it allows our conscience to feel right about the decisions that we make. How about we feel right about having proper accountability for our actions--or more likely, our lack of actions? We need to be accountable for allowing things to transpire and take back control of our actions to better serve our lives and head in the direction of life we truly want to go towards.

"Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere." Be motivated to think outside the box and create your future to your design by choosing for YOU. The storms will come, the storms will go, it's how you choose to face them that changes how you'll handle this season of your life. Make the decisions that will compound and create the life you desire to live.
