We’re building our business. In building the business, we’ve been absorbing ourselves in motivational tapes and books in order to really stay positive, get good educational information, and to try and keep negativity out of our lives. For example, although I stay abreast of most current events online, I will not watch network news on TV before I go to bed. I tried it a couple of nights ago, just to sort of calibrate, make sure I was doing the right thing – discernment and all that. In 20 minutes, I heard about violence, beatings, gang rape, false rape, and on and on. Not one thing to be positive about, not one thing to rejoice in. I went to bed to read my bible, and another book I’m reading. I had to get those images out of my head. They made me feel restless, angry, depressed… I shouldn’t feel that way! I have things to rejoice in! While I’m terribly sorry for the people that were awfully hurt from the news, there’s not one blessed thing I could do about their pain. So, I was right. No more news before bed. But what I actually meant to write about is – I’m getting very uncomfortable in our business. But I also know that’s a GOOD thing. For example, we’ve got 4 plans to show, possibly all this weekend! And Jay’s doing a follow up today. But I just think, good grief! 4 plans! How are we going to do this? I don’t have anough materials – too much! too much! But then I was reading one of my books, and it said that discomfort means you’re on the right track. Discomfort means I’m on my way to a breakthrough. Complacency gave me the life that I don’t like, that I don’t want to live anymore. It follows, then, that my getting uncomfortable, getting out of that comfort zone, could very possibly lead to great things. I do so want that. God, keep making me uncomfortable.
