Suffering

I'm often talking to people outside of the work I do about life.
I look at people in neighborhoods I drive through, I look at relatives, I look at friends, I look at myself...
People often cause their own suffering. WHY?
Why if you know a situation is no good, do you remain in it?
Why if the person your with makes you feel bad, do you remain with them?
Why if you hate going to that job everyday, don't you start planning your escape route (never jump ship without a life preserver or floatie or something)
Why if you know certain foods make you sick, do you continue to eat them (if I weren't allergic to shell fish ewww weee crab legs, shrimp, lobster)
why?
Because its easy and its comfortable....
The road to success is never easy but if the dedication is there and the desire is strong....
Why not put in the work? What hinders most people, I won't lie for me sometimes its being lazy, other times its fear. I think this is the case for most people.
I have; however, decided this will no longer be the case for I am pushing foreword on some things... I want.  Its costing me a little money, a lot of research and a little time but in the end,  I can say yea God with your help I got it done, I did this in spite of  that fear of failure and the procrastination of knowing I will have to put in work...
People often ask me about how my book sales are doing, reality, slow but I did it. One less thing on my bucket list
Oh and the money, well I feel like this every time I purchase something I invest in someone else's dream and the return is usually temporary (you invest in going out to eat the return is brief a little while later your hungry again)

the challenge if you chose to accept it........find where in your life you are suffering and cut that suffering off.  Move foreword, stop being comfortable in being uncomfortable and lazy and fearful...
failure should not discourage and send you running under your bed, but encourage you to go back to the drawing board and try and try again.

be blessed....now, move along
