Why is change so hard? It seems that whenever (or wherever) a change is needed – it’s painful. That’s because change requires sacrifice. As the old saying goes – you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, right? Let’s get into this…
Let’s face it…
Change SUCKS.
And I’m not talking about the outcome of change – I’m talking about the PROCESS. The process of change is often uncomfortable, awkward and yes – often painful.
Change can leave scars. Not just physical – but mental and emotional too. Why? Because change often requires sacrifice.
Think about it – the United States of America wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the sacrifice of those looking to build a better life.
And that’s the truth…
Every revolution, every transformation and every growth spurt in history has been paid for in blood, sweat and tears.
The Civil Rights Movement wasn’t easy. Neither was rebuilding after wars, personal losses or even the smaller changes in our daily lives.
But what makes change worth it? Why do we push forward when it feels like the world – or even our own mind – is working against us?
The answer lies in what waits on the other side.
Change Requires Sacrifice
The pain of change is temporary – but the results can be permanent.
Every scar you earn in the process is proof that you fought for something… a badge of honor – a testament to your grit and resilience.
Change is hard because it demands growth…
And growth doesn’t come from staying in your comfort zone.
Think about your hardest training sessions…
Your muscles burn, your lungs scream, your mind tells you to quit – but through sheer force of will – you keep going because you know that the hell you’re going through – it’s only temporary.
After it’s done? You’re stronger in more ways than one. You’re stronger in body, yes – but by preserving through pain – you’re also stronger mentally. The only person who should be able to break you is yourself – and if you can’t do it…
Nobody can.
This is a GOOD thing. Our job is to be relentless. Our goal is to become unstoppable.
Change is the ultimate workout for your soul…
It breaks you down to build you back up – better, faster, stronger.
The Scars That Shape You
The truth is, scars aren’t ugly…
They’re reminders that you survived.
That you adapted.
That you endured…
And when you look back – those scars become part of your story. They’re the chapters where you decided that complacency and stagnation – weren’t options.
So yeah… change sucks.
But so does staying the same.
The choice is yours: endure the pain of transformation…
Or accept the ache of regret.
Abraham Lincoln said it best, “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”
We all have the capacity to get what we want MOST…
It just takes sacrifice.
But… when you finally break through – when the dust settles and you see what you’ve built – every sacrifice, every ounce of discomfort, every scar… will have been worth it.
Pain fades – but the pride of who you’ve become lasts forever.
Change isn’t easy…
But nothing worth having ever is.
“Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.” – John Kenneth Galbraith
