We will feel the feeling anyway. It will be uncomfortable either way; what uncomfortable do you want to have?

Accept that there will be uncomfortable emotions regardless if we go for our goal or if we play small and do not go for our goal.
My life was transformed when my coach told me, “We will feel the feeling anyway. It will be uncomfortable either way; what uncomfortable do you want to have? “
Up to that point in my life, I believed there was a different emotion if I went for my goal versus if I quit and did not go for my goal.
What I quickly learned is there will be disappointment if I don’t go for my goal, or if I go for my goal, there is a chance I will be disappointed or a chance there will be uncomfortable emotions as I grow and stretch my capacity to grow my identity as the new version of myself.
I get to choose my uncomfortable emotions, but going for my goal also has the chance I will succeed.
Too many of us cause ourselves to work harder and longer when we choose the disappointment or discomfort of not going for our goals because we think these “known” emotions are “better” than the other emotions.
My friend, emotions are emotions, just vibrations in our bodies.
There are no emotions that feel “worse than’ other emotions.
Working smarter is choosing to feel emotions, process them and learn from them while we create our goals.
Working smarter is becoming emotionally strong by accepting all emotions and using them as tools in creating our goals.
Working smarter is going past our emotions to choose powerful uncomfortable emotions that will generate more results because we use our emotions for us.
