Have you ever hung on to something you know is not good for you?
A habit, a belief, maybe even a relationship or a job that you know sucks, but you can't seem to let it go?
The thing you say, ‘if only’ this were different, my life would be great, then you don’t change it?
~ If only my husband were kinder, stronger, shorter, taller, etc.
~ If only my job paid me more money
~If only I could lose 20 pounds
The truth is that you stay stuck because it’s comfortable. It’s what you know. Complaining is easier than changing, than the unknown. It’s the devil you know.
Often the only path to real change is tragedy. Something horrible happens that makes us change, that wakes us up. The pain becomes bad enough that we HAVE to do something different.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Pain and suffering is only one path. There is at least one another – you can wake up through joy and inspiration.
That’s what Stephanie and Maren dive into this week.
Stephanie shares the classic Baal Shem Tov story of the Scrawny Cow which leads right into a great discussion of creating true and lasting change in our lives – WITHOUT the drama and trauma.
We tend to ask, why do I have to change? Why can't THEY change? After today’s podcast you’ll be running towards the privilege of changing and all the gifts it brings your way.
