Unpopular Opinion: Progress is PAINFUL

Share it so we can encourage one another. You’re not alone.

My wife never laughs at my videos, but this one, she did. Her: Well it’s funny cause it’s true.

Let’s be objectively honest for a sec, progress is never perfect. We want it to be. We pray Point A gets us to Point B, but it’s not that easy.

It takes effort. It takes healing. It takes detours… and most of the time, we don’t feel like we have time for all this traffic. Just get us to the destination! 😡

When you’re feeling frustrated, stuck, and discouraged, you can repeat this to yourself (I heard it from Pastor Steven Furtick: ⭐️ “I’m not stuck, unless I stop.”

So whatever you do, don’t stop. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay committed to progress. Pressure either busts pipes or creates diamonds. Every setback is a setup.

Oh, and you’re right in asking the question… “how do I even know it’s working?”

If you woke up this morning… it’s working. You’re still on the path to your purpose. You know more than you did yesterday. It’s okay that it failed. Failure is the detour to your true destination.

So even though you may feel like you’re tumbling, consider is training. We’re all in this together, working to make the world a better place.

You can start right now. Share 1 encouraging thing with a friend to help them fight for their future.
