It’s been a week.
I was speaking with a trusted friend the other day about a situation I am grappling with professionally and how ”it’s making me uncomfortable!” I complained.
He said “Humans are a lot like horses in that all horses want is to be comfortable, all they want is to be out in the pasture with their buddies and they know that the sooner they get their job done, they’ll be comfortable. Right now, you’re uncomfortable and you don’t like it, you want to be comfortable don’t you?”
It got me thinking about this quote I heard about entrepreneurs “99% of what you have to do to grow your business is stuff you’ve probably never done before. Stuff that’s out of your comfort zone.”
This rings SO true for me!
I’ve needed to stop myself multiple times over the last few months and give myself a bit of grace in that this is part of building a business, heck, this is a part of life! Part of life is being uncomfortable, recognizing it for what it is, and moving back to that sense of comfort (which in this case scenario was simply about me learning the lesson and moving on).
So for those of you entrepreneurs in my life (you know who you are), know that you’re not alone in your uncomfortableness, and you’ve got an ally in me, cheering you on every step of the way!
In the meantime, I think I’ll enjoy my cup of tea and a night in to celebrate being comfortable again ☕️
