Published: June 1, 2017, 8 a.m.

Today\u2019s message is all about the journey and what it all means. The \u201cjourney\u201d doesn\u2019t always have to be this HUGE goal or accomplishment. The beauty of it is that it\u2019s unique to you and it can be ANYTHING that you\u2019re looking to do.\n While most focus on the highs, it is equally important to know that the lows (the pain, frustrations and the \u201chard\u201d parts) are what make the journey, and the highs of it, so amazing. If you\u2019re feeling that discomfort, you know growth is on its way.\n \u201cYou can\u2019t enjoy the ride without first taking the journey to a place you\u2019ve never been before.\u201d\n So you\u2019re on this journey, but what happens when you lose motivation\u2026 Monotony hits. You wonder why the heck you\u2019re even on this path. But you must ask yourself, what does your life look like without it? For example, as I\u2019m racing against another deadline for my book, the moment I sit down, all inspiration seems to be lost and doubt creeps in and the last thing I want to do is write. As easy as it is to sink into that mode of defeat, I know the only option I have is to give myself a sometimes-literal shake, dig deep and WRITE.\n \u201cYou have to keep saying YES and you have to keep MOVING.\u201d\n Acknowledge the struggle and how it serves a purpose on your journey. Ask yourself, \u201cHow do I get through this?\u201d Reach out to others who are going or have gone through something similar. Know that just because it\u2019s YOUR journey, you\u2019re not alone. And everything you\u2019re going through is meant for the ultimate good.\n Just let go\u2026and go with the flow and enjoy the ride.\n In This Episode You Will Hear About Enjoying the journey\n Inspiration\n Pain\n Growth\n Resources The Bliss Habit\n Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook.
