I have come to this altar far too many times. I have made so many sacrifices here over the years. Before it, I placed opportunities and dreams, giving it all up hoping to receive that feeling in return. I gave it all for comfort.
But this is the wrong place; I had been ill-advised and need to rethink my beliefs. I have been told that success and greatness is not found with comfort, but with its shadow. Wisdom tells me that I should instead be welcoming discomfort and strain and difficulty. To find what it is that I truly desire, I have to leave comfort behind. This will be difficult, after all I have been pursuing this path for years. It will take work to change my beliefs and habits now.
I need to actively evade the draws of ease and embrace discomfort. I need to accept the uncertainty of my path as I try new things. I need to embrace the cold, the strain, and the hardship of a worthwhile journey. And this is the first difficult step as I try to untangle myself from you and move swiftly towards what I truly want. I am sorry, comfort, but I need to let go of you. I’m moving on.
