Comfortable With the Uncomfortable

I have been uncomfortable for many months. Or is it really many decades. As I find myself facing choices (big ones) once again and sigh into the belief that this situation is not easy, I realize that discomfort has often been a way of life. Or at when I allowed it. And once again (and again and again) I am reminded that the situation is not the source of the discomfort, it is how I view it. So as Bob Newhart so aptly yelled in his famous YouTube video “Stop It,” I must take a major pause and examine what is going on. The situation is uncomfortable, a little disturbing, a lot unsettling. But is it really. Is this discomfort the truth of the thing? No. Did I cause this? Can I control it? Can I cure it? No, no and emphatically, no. The situation is uncomfortable because I allow it to be. The truth is that I have absolutely all I need to be comfortable and to find comfort. We all do. We create it. We are it. So I WILL stop it. And I will choose again. I choose comfort, creativity, peace, joy and wonder.
