Change is Uncomfortable

December 29, 2011
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)

I think it is so important to have a vision.  We were just talking in group today and someone asked the question, “Do people on the outside respond more to treatment than on the inside of these walls?”  I don’t think the answer to that is a simple yes or no.  It all depends on what your vision is.  Are you going into treatment willingly, with the desire to change?  Or is treatment a hassle – a means to an end?

Change is a HUGE deal for an addict.  Addicts get so comfortable where they are at.  And this is why we stayed in a miserable place for so long.  Change is uncomfortable!  It’s easier to play it safe – not rock the boat – keep on with what you know.

But when we are uncomfortable – that’s when we know change is happening.  Mrs. Seely said that her job is not to comfort the disturbed – but to disturb the comfortable.  That made so much sense to me cause change is disturbing!  It’s hard sometimes.

But that’s where the vision comes back into play.  I have a vision of what I want in my life.  Of where I want to be in 5 years.  And I know there are a lot of changes I have to make in order to see that vision come to pass.  And I welcome the uncomfortable feelings because I know that the end result is worth the temporary pain!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.”  (Rom. 8:18)
