Don’t Let “Hard” Stop Your Growth

I was talking to someone recently who was asked to do something really hard at work. So, he pushes back and pushes back. He doesn't want to do it. And finally, his boss called and he said, "All right, listen, we gave it to somebody else." And he goes, "What do you mean?" He goes, "We heard what you said. You don't want to do it." He says, "Well, no, I I want to do it now." He says, "Well, when I first gave it to you, why didn't you want to do it then?" So, the guy thought and he said, "Cuz I didn't know if I could do it." So, the boss goes, "Why do you think you could do it now?" He goes, "Cuz I don't want to miss the opportunity to see how far I can go." A lot of times in life, we get opportunities from God. When they come, they come in challenge. They're packaged in something that we don't think we can actually do. So, we reject them. But only later do we realize that by rejecting things that are hard, we never push ourselves to seeing what we can possibly do. And it hurts cuz we know that was ours. Many times, what's ours, what we should have, needs us to say, "I [music] can." Even if we think we can't. Just wanted to share that.
