Uncomfortable Conversations...

Everyone has to have them at some time in their life. It may be an argument that you're having with someone. Or being told something you don't want to hear..or telling someone something that you suspect they probably don't want to hear. I spent a greater part of my life avoiding uncomfortable conversations. If it was something that I could somehow avoid..then I avoided it. The problem that came with that though is that I was never happy. I mean, yes, I have experienced happiness-but things that I could have grown in years ago I just didn't, because I didn't want to deal with it. I have realized that in order to move on with things, and to find peace and a place of growth then those uncomfortable conversations have to happen. I'm about a week out from having an uncomfortable conversation..it doesn't matter about what. It happened, and while things didn't go the way that I wanted them....now that it's out there and been talked about and aired out-I can move on to that place of growth and getting over it. If I hadn't said anything, and just let it fester I would have been more miserable and more in a place of despair than if I had never said anything at all. So, what is it that you're avoiding today? I encourage you to think about having that uncomfortable conversation. Even if deep down you think it may not go the way you want-you'll probably be better off for it. Eventually.
