Changing your life isn't easy. It's very tough. I mean, extraordinarily hard.
For anyone who really has attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in a similar way any longer, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in another way. You are continually tested, you fail time and again, and it's very tricky to see the world in the light of positivism.
But it doesn't necessarily demand to be that way.
You see, folks struggle with deep change because they do not know the proper way to act when the negative feelings start bubbling up. They think that because negativism is occuring that they must be doing something wrong. No! Not at all. Actually if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you're doing things right. You are growing. You're moving past your comfortable zone.
When you're going through large changes, you're going to come across some gruelling difficulties. Agony is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run wild and free, and you are going to have some struggles. That's fantasically ok! That actually means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't give up now when you are really hurting. Keep going and see it all the way through and you'll cross the finish line a transformed person.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the best way to get sufficiently near to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are constructing a new life, old things have a tendency to seep out and you have got to spend a while working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you don't, you run the chance of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you do this?
You have to get sufficiently close to the discomfort and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You've got to be willing to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings swirl around you without taking you wholly out of the game. When you can do this, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes some talent and a lot of practice, but if you can really spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
