Don’t choose easy, choose hard

Posted on by philipdodson

It seems ever increasingly, we humans are seeking the easy route. 

We think it’s smart to avoid hard work

We are looking for the quick fix. 

The reality is there isn’t a quick fix and the easy route leads to a hard life. 

Simply because nothing of any value comes easy. We’ve not had to put anything in to get it and we don’t value it.

If however we are prepared to commit to sacrifice, face the obstacles in the path, we find that life starts to become easier and more peaceful and more rewarding. We learn through adversity.

For what is hard in life is actually easy and what is easy is actually hard as our life unfolds.

What we put in is always what we get back, we manifest our own reality. 

The more we sacrifice, the more we commit, the more will come back. 

The Universe is always a reflection of what we choose to put in. 

January the 1st won’t save us

Welcome 2024!!

A new start? A day to resurrect of lives and take action?

Interesting how we almost wait for the date to change in order to spur ourselves into action.

Often though, we go from not doing the things we feel we should to a state of frenzied activity only for that to fade away very quickly. The tsunami of new tasks we take on just because it is a new year exhausts us within a few weeks.

Change can only ever take place now, in this moment, so the date on the calendar is irrelevant.

Also, effective changes are only successful one small step at a time. Once we get to trying to take giant leaps, we fail, because the mind, and all its future projections brings psychological fear which paralyses us into inaction.

If allow ourselves to be present and away from the mind, then we won’t have these ups and downs in action bought about by a change of date.

January the 1st isn’t our saviour…now is.
