“procrastination isn’t a time management issue…”

07/18/2025

such a good way to explain this truth

Each day we have a choice. We can try to numb our pain, or we can invite God into it.

The problem with numbing our pain is that it never goes to the source of the issue to make us healthier. It only silences our screaming need for help.
We think we’re freeing ourselves from the pain when, in reality, what numbs us imprisons us.

If we avoid the hurt, the hurt creates a void in us. It slowly kills the potential for our hearts to fully feel, connect, and love again. It even steals the best in our relationship with God.

I don’t know what’s hurting in your life right now. But I do know that pain isn’t the enemy. Pain is simply the indicator that brokenness exists.

Instead of trying to numb those places in our hearts that still hurt, let’s invite God into our pain. Let's ask Him to replace our faltering strength with His. And then let's choose to believe that, with Him, healing is possible.

wow… This is worthy of some thought.

High-functioning people have the capacity for many relationships, but they also have a keen ability to PRUNE their relationships for quality.

They respect the fact that there are limits to what they can do and the amount (and quality of) in whom they can invest. When you accept the reality that your network will produce more relational buds than you can nurture, you'll be able to end some more easily and less traumatically.

Henry Cloud’s wisdom:

I’ve experienced this…

Growth isn’t a straight shot to the top—it’s a winding road with wrong turns, tough lessons, and moments that make you want to quit. But every detour teaches you something. Every setback strengthens you. Keep going, even when the path doesn’t look like you thought it would. That’s how real transformation happens.

When you need accountability and encouragement, join a group of like-minded people who are constantly trying to move forward and constantly committed to growth beyond the difficult. You can find one at Boundaries.me today.

This is what’s wrong with “calling it like I see it”. THE TRUTH isn’t always how I experienced it…
