Are You Playing Small in Life?
In this episode I discuss the concept of growing pains and the pain of playing small. We experience pain in life, physical, emotional, psychological. However, when it comes to stepping outside of our comfort zones, people back down. We all want to experience comfort and live comfortably. It's just human nature to do so. However, I have learned that our soul yearns for more and it requires getting out of our comfort zones so that we can awaken. Just because you grow up physically doesn't mean you can just stop growing mentally and spiritually. If your basic needs are met and you are satisfied, that can actually be a very dangerous place to be for too long.
\nThe pain of growth is discomforting at times but when you go through with it, you feel fulfilled, accomplished and inspired. And when you continue to play small in life, you pay the price in the long run. Evolution calls for us to grow. This comes from personal development and new experiences that get us out of our comfort zone. Just like building muscle with weight resistance training, you experience temporary pain but you continue with it because you know it leads to growth of new muscle tissue. In the same way, to grow your income, your career, your relationships, it calls for temporary discomfort to evolve to the level. But if you continue to play small, you will pay the price in the long run. Change is hard and being stuck is hard, so choose your hard. One appreciates the other depreciates and you have the choice!
