Changing your life is tough. It's hard. I mean, extraordinarily hard.
For anyone that has seriously attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same mediocre way any longer, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come together with deciding to live in a different way. You are consistently tested, you fail time and again, and it's hard to see the world in the light of optimism.
It does not necessarily demand to be that way.
You see, folk battle with deep change because they really do not know the proper way to act when the negative emotions start bubbling up. They believe that because negativeness is occuring that they've got to be doing something wrong. No! Not at all. Actually if you are seriously wrestling and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your comfort zone.
When you're going through big changes, you're going to come across some gruelling problems. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. That's fantasically ok! It really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't declare failure now when you're hurting. Keep going and see it all the way through and you'll cross the finish line a transformed man or woman.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about how to get close enough to the pain to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are making a new life, old things tend to flow out and you have got to spend a good amount of time working with them. This is a natural part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you fail to, you run the chance of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You have to get near enough to the discomfort and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You have got to be content to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings swirl around you without taking you wholly out of the game. When you can do this, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes some talent and plenty of practice, but if you can actually spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
