Reach For It

Sometimes the more precious things in life are a bit further out of reach. They require a strong desire and willingness to stretch ourselves beyond the areas of everyday comfort. That which is right at our fingertips and costs nothing to acquire offers little long-term gain.

As the holidays approach, and a brand new year awaits, let’s consider pursuing the greater things in life that may require more effort, tenacity, and commitment. For some it’s physical fitness, for others it’s self reflection and personal healing. Perhaps the thing that seems just beyond your grasp is material achievement like a degree, a certain promotion, or an increase in income. It can be something as simple as a makeover either for ourselves or your home. Whatever it is purpose in your heart to reach for it.
Perhaps you are reading this and what you desire is much more complex like achieving a successful, loving relationship. Someone else may seek owning and operating your own business. Regardless of what you yearn for, if it’s positive and empowering you deserve to have it! In fact, we deserve to have more this coming year than we had last year.
If we truly believe in ourselves: more joy, more peace, more success, more privilege, more freedom, more sense of accomplishment, etc is ours for the asking and the pursuit. Very important distinction. This “more” we want to see manifested in our lives usually only comes when we are willing to put in more work for that which we want. We have to push ourselves. We have to strive. If we never venture beyond our realm of familiarity, we can never expect to exceed our present circumstances. So let’s dare to extend ourselves beyond the parameters of convenience and ease. Let’s reach for it.
