Time to Level Up
I feel like I’m a stranger in my cookie cutter life.
What used to be a source of comfort now just brings me strife.
I don’t belong in my old job; it bothers me no end
I can’t abide relationship with my “so called” best friend.
My finance situation, just can’t continue on.
I’m sick of being broke and bills persist when money’s gone.
A wonderful epiphany just dropped into my soul.
Discomfort is the signal sent to make what’s broken, whole.
Allow my disappointments and my pains to point the way
To every stinking change I should have made, like, yesterday.
Today’s the day I’ll inventory what I think I lack.
Tomorrow, guaranteed, I’m getting my groove back.
Sometimes it can feel like things in our lives just don't fit any more. We feel like we have outgrown our job, our relationships, and financial capacity, but we're still stuck in situations that don't keep up with our expanding vision of what we want. It can be so frustrating and seem like we're doing something wrong.
But for me, that couldn't be further from the truth. This is what growth feels like.
This poem is about the feeling that dogs us when change is coming. It reminds us that the way to it is through it. Get ready to feel discomfort. In fact, lean in to it. That's what will point the way to the new plateau up ahead for those who are willing to break through the wall of fear to get to the other side.
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."
George Addair
