I often use the phrase, "sometimes we have to do hard things".
Most often, it's an internal speech to myself.
Other times, I'm thinking it towards people who are making excuses or procrastinating.
And very rarely, I'm caught saying it out loud to push someone to just DO THE THING!
Our culture seems to be producing people who want to avoid the hard things.
There's a pill, a program, a product, or an app that "solves" everything.
People don't like being uncomfortable or being exposed to new situations. I witness so many people wanting to take the easy way out.
I have found that it's those uncomfortable moments that produce the most reward, pride, growth and fulfillment.
This is part of living.
Whenever I'm unsure of the next step, I'm just going to do the thing. Whether it's just some random thing in my home or something that takes intentional planning.....
I want to be fearless and do the thing.
Life is full of hard moments. I feel like that's where we can build the most character.
Make time for friends, take time to help people, visit with family, volunteer at the place, do the house project, make the recipe, attend the event, plan the trip, work in the yard, build something, create something, play with the kids, put down the phone, interact with people.
Time is going to pass anyway.
Make the most of it.
Do the thing.
