Whenever we set a big goal, like deciding to be more assertive or to be confident speaking from the stage, there are bound to be some uncomfortable and discouraging moments along the way. Along the way we have a choice to backtrack and stay where we are with no clear results, or keep going forward, trudging through the brush, swimming in shark-infested waters, or any analogy you can imagine that makes it difficult to get to where you want to be,

But that journey is where the growth takes place. That’s the hard part, because where you are now is comfy and cozy. And where you want to be, well, you don’t yet actually know what it will feel like to reach that destination. In each of these instances, we decide we want to change our current behavior, but we must go through the growing pains of actually doing the work.

In the end, you will have accumulated numerous stories about the battles you fought on your journey, and how you are willing to do it again.
