What is your relationship with Hard Things in life? I’m intentionally oversimplifying it… I don’t know what is coming to your mind. Some, financial hardship… Some, career obstacles… Some estranged marriages… some, unbearable grief… some, an unclear future for your life.
What is your relationship to “Hard Things?”
Do you confront them, overcome them, with the full weight of who you are?
Do you shrink back in intimidation?
My bet is… you have done both. It might depend on your mood, the bigness of the challenge.
I have had seasons of my life where I was in such a dark place that returning simple text messages felt like a “Hard Thing.”
I’ve also have had seasons in life where I feel I want to run for president of the United States!
The simple message today is this…
Whatever “hard thing” you encounter today… you can do it. Allow me to give you the license to shrug off your insecurities… to shrug off the fears of what might happen if you act… to shrug off what is holding you back from working through the challenge.
Things are hard because they are important.
Things are hard because they are worth it.
Your family is worth it.
Your relationships are worth it.
Your life is worth it.
Don’t miss out on the joy of arriving to the other side of your hard thing.
