What's It Gonna Take?

When I go see my surgeon or physical therapist they neither miss an opportunity to mention just how broken my wrist was. For someone who’s never broken a bone, I went for broke (snicker) and did a doozy on it.

Consequently, therapy hurts. A lot.

The therapy wouldn’t be so tough if it weren’t for the fact that my at home exercises are brutal.

B R U T A L

For example- one stretch causes my muscles to do some uninspiring seizure maneuver. The fix? Do it anyway. Push through the seering pain.

I have experienced a good amount of pain over the last 4 years, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Frankly, I’m a bit tapped on the pain point of I’m honest.

I have slacked on my at home work for obvious reasons. I told myself doing normal activities and getting better at those things meant arm was improving. I didn’t REALLY need to do those exercises 5x a day, I mean that is just a suggestion, right?

Wrong.

 No need to go into the why, but needless to say, when I learned, understood AND received the why in my psyche, all bets were off. Stretching and recovery has become a full time job, per the doc’s suggestion.

I came to a “what will it take for me to listen and do the work” moment.

What was it going to take for me to take the exercises seriously, to not leave it up to chance that somehow my wrist, hand and arm would retire to full mobility without my involvement?

What it took was the doc looking me in the eye and saying “ you have an 8 week window. Once that closes, where you are mobility wise is where you stay for the next 50 years”.

I like that he said I had 50 years here…

So I will turn the table around to you, the one thinking you were just reading my story of “don’t wanna”.

• What’s it going to take for you to do the things?

• What’s it going to take to grow multiple streams of income?

• What’s it going to take to reduce that extra weight?

• What’s it going to take for you to take the Lord seriously in your calling? Your purpose? Your reason for being here in the first place?

What’s it going to take?

Because, like my window of time on healing, you too, have a window of time to do the things. Don’t let it close without you waking up and saying, “all right. Let’s do this.”
