Looking For Easy

Inspirational Short

“Anytime things got hard, I looked for a way out. I wanted to find something easier… It’s just not true. Everything worthwhile will be hard.” — Brent Beshore

It’s easy to want easy.

But we often don’t want what easy gets us.

We want what the hard thing gets us.

So next time you’re looking for a way out, remember, you’d probably rather have what comes on the other side of going through it than what comes from heading back to the sidelines.

I had made a note on Thursday to finish my gospelof post for Friday morning (an e-mail goes out to subscribers at 10:00am). Thursday quickly filled and before I knew it, it was nearly midnight and I decided I would just write in the morning.

The morning came and I started my routine… cold shower, yoga and stretching, breathing exercises (hey, when you work from home, you got time to make things happen!). And then I looked at the clock, 9:55am. I hustled to my computer.

I first checked myself to see if there was anything straight from the mind or heart and I was blank.

I opened my Tim Keller Notes and then Seth Godin Notes and some other notes and nothing was resonating. And then I opened up my Notes from the Learning Leader Podcast and came across the quote I had copied down, “Anytime things got hard, I looked for a way out.

That was it.

I knew just by putting that on the page, the rest of the words would come. And they quickly did, and I submitted my draft at 10:04am. Almost on time. If I’m too late, I know I’ll be getting a call from my mother checking in if I’m okay, she’s my most ardent and faithful reader I’m sure.

And after I posted it, I went back to read it again, to check for grammar and spelling…

It’s easy to want easy.

But we often don’t want what easy gets us.

We want what the hard thing gets us.

So next time you’re looking for a way out, remember, you’d probably rather have what comes on the other side of going through it than what comes from heading back to the sidelines.

And some tears welled up in my eyes.

Sometimes when you write, and then you read it… you realize it may not just have been for somebody else, it may have been for you too.
