Sometimes Hard Now Means Better Later

Earlier today, I got a massage from a deep tissue massage therapist named Sherri Morris.

I’ve had other massages — some more spiritual, some less spiritual, but all physically less intense than this one.

I’ve actually been wanting a deeper massage for a long time… but only the ones I get from Barry really make me feel like I’ve had a massage when it’s all said and done.

Today it almost hurt TOO much at times when she was really digging into the sore spots… but I stuck it out, thinking, “No pain, no gain”.

That doesn’t mean life is always about “No pain, no gain” — we don’t ALWAYS have to endure pain in order to get ahead — but sometimes a “good hurt” helps us move forward.

It’s kind of like personal development.  You can read the nice feel-goody books, and walk away feeling pleasant, the way I often do after nice light massages that feel good while they’re being done, but don’t have a lasting physical effect.

Or you can read hard-hitting books that sting a little when you read them, but help you break through your personal blocks in major ways, kind of like the deep-tissue massage.

One of my favorites is Randy Gage‘s “Why You’re Dumb, Sick & Broke… And How to Get Smart, Healthy & Rich“.  Randy is one of the secret masters at Masters of the Secret, and his teachings don’t pull any punches — and are very effective.

Because sometimes we have to hurt (either a little or a lot) in order to learn, accept, move forward and conquer the world.
