How Hard Does it Have to Be?

How hard does it have to be in life to feel validated - like you are doing something worthwhile, like there is a reason for your life and your existence? Here's a secret - nothing has to be hard, life can be simple, easy, flowing - that is a choice we can make.

We are no less effecive, worthwhile, worthy and perhaps even more so when there isn't a constant fight in life. It doesn't have to be hard.

Choosing for life to be easier comes with the automatic agreement not to stress about every little detail. You set your intention, you pick a few ways to get there, and then you let go; you walk the path you set out, but if there are detours, curves, unexpected occurances, well, then there are detours, curves and unexpected occurances, and still no reason to stress.

We do ourselves a grave injustice by stressing all the time because things aren't the way we happen to think they should be. We end up angry, frustrated, seething - and completely inefficient! everything takes longer, everything is a hassle, everything take so much energy - - what a waste of energy and effort, when all the same things (and often times more) can happen so much more easily.

Life happens, breathe deep and let go of the emotional attachment to having things turn out like the picture you painted in your mind. And let things happen the way they will anyway...

Blessings.
