The Luxury of Being Uncomfortable

I'd like to start this blog with a quote a good friend gave me to reflect on.

"You have comfort. You don't have luxury. And don't tell me that money plays a part. The luxury I advocate has nothing to do with money. It cannot be bought. It is a reward of those who have no fear of discomfort."
- Jean Cocteau

So, those fearing the uncomfortable always live in comfort, not luxury? Luxury of life is the reward for not fearing the uncomfortable.

The difference between living life comfortably and luxuriously- is to fear or not to fear.

What I notice is when I choose to live in comfort- I am very uncomfortable.

When I choose to live in luxury- I sense I am taken care of.

You could say that living by faith therefore...

is a life of luxury.

What are you feeling?

Worry... Stress... Anxiety..

or..

Peace... Kindness... and Love.

Will you choose to be uncomfortable?

Will you choose a life of luxury?

Your life is answering it now.
