Pain and suffering are always present, we have talked about that many times before, the difference is how we approach it. We have to make thousands of decisions a day and each of them have some form of “i don’t want to do that”. As a conscious individual it is imperative that we recognize when these feelings come to fruition and what we do about them. We have the option to ignore the fear, and pain that comes with making hard decisions or we can embrace them. Attacking the hardest parts of the day is the key to moving past the fear of pain and hardship.
The minute we can wrap our minds around the fact that things are going to be difficult day in and day out, we can accept what the course of action looks like. The more that we ignore that course of action the more it hangs over our heads. It’s like waiting until the last minute to do your hardest assignment. All day you would be thinking about how awful that is going to be and dreading it the entire day. The opposite reaction is doing the most difficult thing first with the right mindset and the rest of the day is a cakewalk.
When we can approach our day with the mindset of embrace vs ignore we begin to understand how our mind can dictate the way we feel about objective tasks. We are emotional beings, imperfect by nature, but if we can understand that and attack the hard tasks before they are allowed to fester in our minds, big dreams that seemed insurmountable become much more digestible. From the moment we wake up we have a decision to make…attack attack or retreat…embrace or ignore.
