Choose Your Hard

Choose your hard. This was actually a post I made a few weeks ago. It was the 6 month mark since I had blown my shoulder out rock climbing. I was talking about how hard the process has been, how hard rehab really is, and how hard the whole thing was mentally. But really. As I thought about it. Every alternative was hard. Rehab {the choice I made} was hard. But surgery…it would have been hard too. The beautiful thing is…we get to choose our hard. This relates to all aspects of your life. Taking great care of yourself is hard. Being overweight is hard too. Being disciplined with your finances is hard. Being broke is hard too. Getting up early is hard. Hitting snooze and dealing with the fact that you overslept is hard too. Being consistent is hard. Starting over is hard too. Working out is hard. Not being able to do basic tasks and play with your kids is hard too. Taking the time to schedule your day is hard. Living in chaos is hard too. Change is hard. Staying stuck where you are is hard too. Building a side hustle that you want to turn into a business is hard. Showing up to a job you hate forever is hard too. Relationships are hard. Being lonely is hard too. Taking a risk is hard. Living with unaccomplished goals and dreams is hard too. Nothing is easy. There is a cost involved in everything you do. So often, we hyper focus on the cost of changing and skip over what it really will cost to stay where we are. Cost can be anything. It can be time, effort, or money. We cannot get hung up on the cost of getting to the place we know we want to be. Choose your hard. Enjoy!
