When Misery is Comfortable by Connie Wyatt

When Misery is Comfortable

What if someone offered you a new life today? The life you’ve only dreamed of in the past? Would you accept it?

You’re probably thinking, “Duh, that’s a no brainer, of course I would.”

But if this is true, why do so many grovel in their perceived problems. Whining and complaining about everything, but not doing a thing to make it better? People who say they want a better life, but when a suggestion is made to get them on their way to that life, they self-sabotage themselves, by either not trying at all, or making a half-hearted effort only to give up before barely getting started.

Perhaps subconsciously they have a fear of success. “What if I’m successful, then what? I will have to take responsibility for my new life. Change habits, change routines, give up what has been comfortable to me in the past.”

They are comfortable in their present misery. They feel safe there. Their life is boring, but it isn’t scary. They don’t have to take risks. It’s much easier to complain than to take responsibility of fixing the problem.

We've all known these people, but I think even those of us who aren't so blatant about it have it in us to remain where we are. It’s just too scary to risk breaking free.

I’ve been there. I’m still fight it at times, but we can’t let fear control us. To live a full life takes risk and count on it, if you are going to be successful, you will fail! Now I don’t mean you will fail at being successful, you will fail at some point in doing what it takes to become successful. There is a big difference!

Ask any successful person you know if they have ever failed and they will tell you YES and probably they will tell you they have failed many times. Failure is but a stepping stone to success. If they had not failed their way to the top they would still be stuck at the bottom in their comfortable place of misery.

Let’s step out of our misery and into our fear and on to a full, purposeful life.

If you would like to partner with me to help you on your journey to that better life, I would love to hear from you.
