"Comfortable Bed"

"A rut is like a comfortable bed. It's easy to get into but hard to get out of." How true is that quote?

Oft times we find ourselves in all too familiar places and spaces because of their familiarity alone. Not because these places and spaces represent a healthy atmosphere for us, but because it's "what we know." And "what we know" represents that RUT that we find ourselves in. Just like that "Comfortable Bed," which we cannot seem to muster up the energy, nerve or strength to enable us to change our situations. During that time and unbeknownst to us, that "Comfortable Bed" is nothing but a RUT in disguise. How we got there is important to know so that we may not repeat the same mistake twice, but getting out from there is the immediate task at hand.

You don't come into existence on your own and you shouldn't live in existence on your own either. But if your existence means the comfort or lack thereof in the form of familiar spaces and places that do not represent the multi-layered components of health such as physical, mental, psychological, emotional, spiritual and educational, then it's time to rip away that "security blanket" that keeps you tucked away in that "Comfortable Bed" of yours.

It's time to make up the bed, without you in it.

All the Best, All the Time!
