Prior to closing out COT, we discussed a quote I keep on my desk that states the following:
“The finish line of comfort and the starting line of growth look an awful lot alike.” – Dan Klein
Whether we are looking to grow spiritually, in our marriage as husbands, as fathers, as leaders, or physically; we must push through discomfort to allow real growth and progress to take hold. The PAX of The Purple Cow got stronger today and pushed through the finish line of comfort. Challenge going forward was to determine what other area of our lives to we need to push through comfort to be the men God is calling us to be.
God Bless,
