I heard Les Brown speaking about making changes and people being comfortable in their misery rather than doing something about it and he tells this story.
He spoke about this dog that was lying on a porch moaning and groaning. A man walked past and heard the dog moaning and complaining and wondered what was wrong with the dog. The man asked the owner – “What’s up with your dog? Why does he keep moaning like that?!”. The owner told them man that the dog was lying on a nail that was hurting him. The man thought this was mad and asked why the dog didn’t move. The owner replied it wasn’t hurting him enough.
Change isn’t always easy but staying in your misery is worse!! Don’t wait until the pain is too much to bear to take action! Take action today to make the necessary changes.
So true! This applies on a mass scale too, I think. (:
Absolutely!
