Guilty! Yes I am GUILTY of people controlling my gifts and the purpose I have for my life. Whoa! That was a difficult, yet needed statement to make. My existence for years has been prisoner to others and not fighting the death sentence they place on my goals, dreams, and gifts have left me chain. GUILTY! CAPTURED! Allowing them to tell me when to move, when to exist, when to be heard…all while staying shackled in chains that I ultimately have the key to. In life we give people the power to keep us stuck in the cell called comfort. Comfortable living in the box of this is where I need to be, because this is where others feel I am best suited. Best suited because it supports their purpose and your connection to the purpose advances the possibilities of their process, but does it really support your progress. We endure the torture of this holding cell that confines us to living….

STUCK 

STANDARDIZED 

STABLE  

IN SIGNIFICANT COMFORT

Your captives applaud your ability to remain comfortable…stuck…unable to loosen yourself and get uncomfortable. Your ability to move in a ground shaking, earth shattering, confident way causes fear. Fear because when you are freed, their plan to keep you attached to their dream is destroyed, which in turn devastates the foundation. The foundation that you helped lay in your ignorance of comfort-ability (YES I MADE UP A WORD). Here are a few reasons why your becoming uncomfortable with being comfortable annoys those who keep you captive in comfort.

You will learn something new. People will fear the thought of you learning something new. With new information comes new outlook towards the places you could go if only you became uncomfortable in being comfortable. New means seeing with your own eyes. Realizing that the shackles you believe are locking down are really just one mental break away from releasing you into a world of your own dreams. A clearer vision! Position yourself to begin the learning process…absorbing everything you deem necessary for your journey towards your own greatness.

Change will happen. Change…people can’t stand change. They can’t appreciate the fact that you will change and your acceptance of things will change. As a people we forget that the only constant in life is change. One should not accept his own change without acknowledging the fact that others too will go through that same transformation. Change! Life is fueled by change,  because it provides us different experiences that are valuable to the end product. Sitting comfortable in someone’s world grants us a certain stability, but remaining stagnant will not allow us to consistency grow in life.  It is our duty to recognize when there is a need for change and seek it.

Greatness will happen. I remember once being told that greatness is only granted to certain people. It is not a characteristic of all people….one has to master life in order to be labeled great. Those words were uttered out of the mouth of someone who only valued greatness in self and thrived off the fact that others around enjoyed the comforts of comfortable. Once we break the chains, tap into our God given magic, and believe…greatness begins. This is scary for those who are already great, because they enjoy you being comfortable and now that you have shift your mindset fear has appeared and they aren’t sure which way to attack. This is the observation of greatness.

Confidence begins. I can break free….no I can’t. I can live my wildest dream…..nope I have all I need right here. This wish washy dance of poor self-confidence ends today. Lacking confidence allows for others to provide you with confidence. Giving you a mirror that is comprised of their image of you and the characteristics they feel necessary for your position of comfortable. Break that image and develop your own confidence…remember it’s your natural human duty to be confident based on your own interruption of who you are. Find your way. I once learned that confident people somewhat make their way. You become strong in your stance and straightforward in your word. Moving in a way that leaves your captives confused and lacking confidence on how to approach or destruct your world. Confidence is the belief that you can accomplish what you set out to accomplish. Keep moving!

Being comfortable in someone else’s comfort is a place where dreams die and life ends. It’s a mean to an end, which leaves one settled in settling for a life not dreamed. That life isn’t a part of God’s Plan. Break FREE and burn comfort. Start existing in your own world and see all that life has for you once the chains are removed and you are finally able to live uncomfortably.

Remember being comfortable in their comfort should make you uncomfortable.
