Workout: Push Through Discomfort

Would it be worthwhile to have a few doubters or to look stupid or be seen as silly? If you woke up energized by what you were doing, would that be worth it? If you woke up and you knew you were doing what you were meant to do, would it be worth it? If everyone else thought you were slowing down, taking a step back, but you actually felt like you were moving towards that next chapter, you were moving towards that better thing, would that be worth it? Is this dream worth having a few people think you're crazy? Is this dream worth having a few people think you're crazy? How important is this to you? Do you really want this? Well, if you said that's important, isn't it worth a little discomfort? Haven't you been discomforted before? Haven't you felt judged and stupid before? Okay, so you know you'll survive that. So the question is about survival, right? Sounds to me like the real question is whether you want it. We know you'll survive. I'm curious. If we know you'll survive, what will it feel like? If you're thriving, would it be worthwhile to have a few doubters or to look stupid or be seen as silly? If you woke up energized by. By what you were doing, would that be worth it? Would it be worth it? If you woke up and you knew you were doing what you were meant to do, would it be worth it? If everyone else thought you were slowing down, taking a step back, but you actually felt like you were moving towards that next chapter, you were moving towards that better thing, would that be worth it? Because, see, worth can be flipped on its head. We think worth is all about someone not feeling worthy. But I'll use worth it all the time. Is it worth it? Would it be worth it to have someone. What are they going to say to you that's going to make you feel embarrassed? People, soon as they step through the embarrassment or the fear or the judgment, they realize a they've heard it before. I mean, what have you guys not heard at this point in your life, right? You're stupid, you're lazy, you're dumb. You're not good enough. I hate your hair. Your blouse sucks. Jesus. Pants don't fit you well. Hate your shoes. Your house is too small. Once you. You realize it's all been said, there's just no fear about it anymore. There's. I don't think there's anything they could say on the Internet about me that could ever slow me down. Because I'm like, either they've already said it to me or I've said it to myself. And once you realize it's all been said, you're safe, what else are they going to say to you, right? Are you so scared that really something's going to come along tomorrow and they're going to say something so bad it's going to embarrass you so much more than you've already been embarrassed? Look, as adults, we're carrying along enough old embarrassments, enough old, old shame. Nothing new is going to come tomorrow. And once you get that, it takes away a lot of that power.
