Which stage are you in with your goal right now?

When we are trying to reach a goal, especially if it’s one we aren’t used to, we often want to get to our end result quickly, easily and happily.

The problem is, that is NOT the reality most of the time.

When we are trying to find the best approach to healing and pain management...

When we are trying to confront our past...

When we are trying to let go of old habits and old ways of thinking that aren’t serving us...

It’s hard.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s unfamiliar.
It can even be painful.

And when we try to jump to thinking “I need to be there now so I can be happy,” that causes even more pain and suffering.

The true journey is often reflected by the facial expressions in this photo starting from Aaron.

Aaron: This sucks. I hate this. Am I ever going to get there?

TO:

Alan: Saying PEACE to those destructive thoughts...but not quite liking these challenges. It’s alright though, I’ll get there and keep working toward it.

TO:

Phoebe: I’m doing this for myself and my purpose. It’s hard. It’s painful. But it’s worth it. There is joy, strength and confidence in that. Hard, but glorious!
