Are u too comfortable?
The last couple of weeks or so has been a harsh reality of how comfortable I have become in life.
Last night, we talked about fasting and I realized how hard it would really be for me to go just one whole day without eating. I honestly am not sure I could. I used to fast for weeks!
I just walked 1.5 miles at the gym. That’s okay except that at any point in my life, I have been able to run 3 miles. I was sucking wind after walking 1.5! I breathe hard just from walking up to my apartment on the 4th floor!
There is 30-40 lbs (fluctuates) more of me now than there was when I got married. It used to be a joke, “that’s what marriage does to you. hahaha.” It’s not funny or cute anymore. That’s what lack of discipline, being comfortable, and pure laziness does to me, and it bleeds over into other areas of life.
Why is all this even important to me? Because I want to be fit for my purpose. I want my body to be up to the task of performing what God wants me to do, and that requires discipline. If you get to comfortable it is hard to move forward when the time comes.
I want to be comfortable in being uncomfortable.
I haven’t offered the solution yet. For now, I’m just going to the gym. Might pick up Weight Watchers again. My wife and I shedded poundage with that.

So, where are you too comfortable?
