Lord, Make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.

- Ruby Dee

When it it time for us to grow we get restless.  When it is time for us to move forward we get tense.  When the time comes for us to let go of the things we know are holding us back, all hell breaks loose.  Unfortunately, we sometimes misunderstand what we are feeling and use it as a reason to stay where we are.  Nothing forces us to move faster than pain.  Restlessness is pain.  Tension is pain.  Hell breaking loose is a sign that pain is on the way.  When we are in pain we must do something to make ourselves feel better.  And if the old remedy does not work, we must try something new.  Too many times we have cut ourselves down to fit into the situation.  Fixing ourselves to stay where we are is the very source of our pain.  If we allow ourselves to live with a constant, dull ache, it means we are not getting the message.  But you can be sure all dull aches eventually turn into a throbbing pain.

Pain tells me there is something wrong.
