Resistance.

You ever walked the wrong way in the lazy river? You remember that feeling that you shouldn’t be going that way, and then to make it worse, you have the lifeguard telling you that you have to take the next exit versus continuing to push against the current.

Yea, I think that’s kind of what I’ve been feeling. I keep trying to go against the current for a stop that ultimately I already missed. There I am, I’m not surprised, being hardheaded and not accepting that fact. I’m holding on to the edge of the lazy river just because letting go the last thing I’d want to do.

Hindsight’s always 20/20. If you asked me before, I would’ve been confident that going backward in this river was the right thing to do. Now? I’m not so sure. I can tell you with a lot more certainty that I should keep it pushing.

We all have those moments, the ones where we keep trying to hang on to something that may not be yours—hanging by a thread. Move on. Please do what you need and keep it pushing. It’ll bring you nothing but uncertainty at first, but what’s a little bit of change without a little bit of discomfort.

Beauty lies just over the hill of that discomfort, and the beauty isn’t something you see; it’s something you turn into.
