The Life You Want Is Hidden Inside The Things You Keep Avoiding

Be honest, there is something you know you should do. You have known it for months. Maybe years but every day, you find a smart excuse to avoid it.

And that one thing you keep avoiding is exactly where your next level is hiding.

Listen and let me tell you my own story.

For two years, I kept avoiding one thing which is waking up by 5am to work on my own dreams before going to hustle for others.

I told myself, l am not a morning person. My body needs 8 hours sleep. I will do it in the evening when I come back.

Evening would come, I would be tired from the day's activities. I would scroll phone till 12am and sleep again.

My life was on pause, but I was not lazy. I was just avoiding the uncomfortable hour.

The day I forced myself to start waking by 5am, everything changed. In 3 months I wrote more, I made more contacts, I had more peace than in 2 years of waiting for the right time.

Your life is not stuck because of village people. Your life is stuck because of that one thing you keep avoiding.

Check this out, you want a good body, but you keep avoiding the gym and you keep avoiding pushing that plate of extra eba away.

You want six packs but you cannot avoid soft drinks. You want to be fit but you cannot avoid 10pm heavy food. Your dream body is hidden inside that avoidance.

You want peace in your marriage, but you keep avoiding that difficult conversation.

You know you and your wife need to sit and talk about money, about respect, about how you talk to each other. But you keep avoiding it and saying let peace reign. There is no peace where truth is avoided. Your happy home is hidden inside that conversation you keep running from.

You want to make more money, but you keep avoiding selling.
You say you hate begging people to buy. You say l am not a marketer. So you keep posting motivational quotes instead of posting your product. My brother, money hides inside marketing. If you avoid selling, you have chosen to avoid money.

You want to be free, but you keep avoiding forgiveness.
Someone hurt you some years ago. You still carry it. You said, l can never forgive that person. Every time God tells you to let go, you change the topic. Your freedom, your sleep, your joy, all hidden inside that forgiveness you keep avoiding.

Here is the brutal truth.
God will never give you your next level in the area of your comfort.
He hides it in your discomfort.

The book you avoid writing.
The apology you avoid making.
The exercise you avoid doing.
The business you avoid starting because what will people say.
The account book you avoid opening.

That is the door. Your blessing is behind it.

I learned this law last year. What you avoid controls you. What you confront frees you.

If you avoid waking early, sleep controls you.
If you avoid checking your finances, poverty controls you.
If you avoid hard truths, fear controls you.

So I will challenge you today.
Take a book. Write down 3 things you have been avoiding for the last 6 months. Just 3.

And beside each one, write, my next level is inside this.

Then pick one and do it this week. Not next month. This week.

Because one day you will realize that the life you have been praying for was not far. It was just hiding inside that one thing you kept pushing away.

The life you want is not hidden in Dubai. It's not hidden in Canada. It's hidden inside your own discipline.

What is that one thing you know you have been avoiding?
Write it in the comment. When you write it, you have already started defeating it.

Let's go...
