That growth comes from discomfort. I like when you wrote "challenge yourself to be ok". That really hits home with me. I think that sums up how I was feeling in a simple and beautiful way. And I miss you guys too, always. I wish Grand Rapids and Chicago were right next door to each other!

I think in some instances being uncomfortable can lead to growth. It can perhaps lead us to rethink how we feel in that moment and just notice how we feel instead of reacting to it. Ya know, relax with what is - all uncomfortable and all.. I think this opens our eyes to all that is beautiful and comfortable around us and makes us more appreciative and thankful for the warm fuzzies that we do have. I’m not suggesting that we seek out uncomfortable situations, but when they are at our doorstep, embrace them. Challenge yourself to be ok. <br /><br />Miss You Guys! ;) Rebecca<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099966294801764134.post-6568269116817495012013-10-08T15:08:40.892-07:002013-10-08T15:08:40.892-07:00Oh man, I have a hard time with that.

That you enjoy life's successes more because of the toils and failures along the way. I have always thought that once I become comfortable in life I stop becoming productive. I don't mean the little "couch"comforts, but the emotional type comforts that without which you always have that little frog in your throat making you worry if you will complete the task at hand successfully. I don't know about the right to be comfortable, but it seems we should strive to stay uncomfortable. As with art, in life it seems the beauty is in the imperfections or discomforts.

Can I unteach myself and just feel gratitude when something is right in front of me? Not sure. Been working on putting down the worry as well. Such a useless quality. Whoever invented worry should be fired. :)Rachelnoreply@blogger.com
