Comfortable

I feel like every few days or weeks the same message is reiterated to me. Last month I was saying Never Settle and I guess this is a continuation of some sort. I know I harped big on getting after it and finding your happiness, but I feel like sometimes we limit ourselves with our belief of what happiness is. Yes, we should definitely learn to be happy with our growth and live in the moment but there comes a time where your comfort has an expiration. So basically I’m saying you should never get too comfortable.

Now I get it… for some people this can cause an influx of anxiety that they will never find true happiness – I’m not trying to promote that at all. You can be happy in your current state while still wanting more for yourself. And if your happiness is based off of someone or something else, then you better never get too comfortable. I feel as though our happiness should come in majority from ourselves and not be based off of other happenings in our lives. Last month, I said I was happy due to not working my 9-5 and, instead, being able to work my other job. Now this month I’ve realized yet again that jobs can be draining and temporary. Me being comfortable in that job is also limiting how far I go in life. I started considering to defer my plans and stick with my current status versus doing what I’ve already voiced out loud to the universe and I’ve written down that I want to happen for me. (On a side note: spelling is a spell and there is power of life and death in the tongue, so beware of what you put into the atmosphere.) I’m not trying to say you should never be comfortable in your life, but that you should never get too comfortable. Life is a gamble… [lighter flick] “and I’m all about my poker chips.” My bad… if you know, you know. But seriously, life is a gamble and what if your state of comfort limited how far you got to touch the sky? Or what if one day the thing or person who provides that comfort for you decided they felt differently and uprooted your life? If things were to keep going the way they were about a week ago [hits Shmurda dance] then I would’ve put off the other things I want to do a little while longer. Putting things off just wastes my own time (and time is money) which in turn, leaves my life unfulfilled and that’s not okay. I will not play with myself like that – I am not one of them (word to Lil Baby). Remember, I deserve a lot of things and settling into a basic comfort is not it. I like a challenge and these can result in high rewards which I’m all here for. So… I’m awake again. I’ve made some of the best moves for myself by keeping myself in a place of discomfort so I’d constantly achieve more. It works for me and it may work for you too. Remember to enjoy the process in the meantime and look inwards for that happiness you want and need. We’re hustling to never settle and not mistaking lazy comfort for true happiness. Now in the words of Babyface (imagine him singing it) the final thought rings true: “don’t you… ev-er… get too… comfortablllleeee”
