Whenever I teach and speak to my audiences about empowerment and improving the quality of life, I feel I have done my job if someone tells me that I made them uncomfortable.

After facilitating recent conference workshops in Orlando,  I started receiving feedback by e-mail from the participants.  Apparently,  I made some of them feel uncomfortable. 

After hearing my message about how our success, health and happiness are hindered by procrastination, fear, worry and living a life without meaning, purpose or direction, they felt the discomfort and dissatisfaction in their lives.  They felt the pain that comes from procrastination, depression, fear, small goals and allowing other people to steal their joy.  This discomfort is now a motivating force in their lives to take action, set higher goals and make positive changes.

Have you gotten too comfortable in your unfulfilling job or relationship?  Are you feeling too comfortable in your small apartment or old car? Have you gotten comfortable in a rut with no purpose or plans?  Have you gotten too comfortable still living with your parents or depending on others to take care of you?  Have you gotten too comfortable feeling hopeless, over weight, unhappy, broke or living where you don't want to live or work?  Have you gotten too comfortable accepting less and stress surrounding issues with your finances, health and relationships?  Have you gotten comfortable because no one is challenging you to grow, be, do and have more?

This message today is your PUSH to grow outside of your comfort zone.

If you feel uncomfortable confronting where you are in life because of your condition, circumstances or choices...then I urge you to turn that feeling of

frustration into MOTIVATION.

Your frustration can and should spur you into action.  The other option is that you will find yourself in the same situation this time next year.  Get motivated by understanding this is a do-it- yourself life.  The quality of your life is determined by your thoughts, self-worth, self-esteem, faith, knowledge, actions and courage.  I encourage you to make a deposit into yourself by reading my books and listening to the CDs.  I promise you, they will make you uncomfortable and you will get your back UP OFF the wall. ~ by Jewel Diamond Taylor
