Stretch – I believe freedom is gained as you stretch beyond your comfort zone. So often when we talk about freedom we want to be free from something or gain something new or even reach new levels of something. You can only get there when you stretch beyond where you are today.
I remember meeting this guy who had a farm, ran a business and was helping with creating a new project and was going to work that project. I said wow I thought I was a hard worker, you are amazing. As I talked to him he also had a great relationship with his family and found time to enjoy life. He told me during the times of growth there is tons of work and long hours, but once you reach the next level things balance out and you find the time to do everything you want.
As I thought about that it was true. I looked back at my changes over the years and I did the same thing. I did most of my college work while working a full time job and raising a family. I have worked a couple jobs at the same time. Each time I started those extra stretch events it was hard, but over time I adjusted and found a new level of comfort. It was the same with having a large family, adding one at a time over the years was hard in the beginning then it was wonderful.
The other day I talked about taking action, this is the part where you are really taking action and maybe not feeling great. Maybe you just want to stop and not do anything. DON’T STOP. Stretch yourself and take the actions, you will be amazed how you can adjust and reach a new goal or level.
Much joy and love to you and yours
