Easy things stop us doing what we really want

The ‘easy’ things in life get harder.

The ‘hard’ things in life get easier.

It’s the mind that decides that ‘hard’ things are tough or challenging.

When we only do the easy things we suffer because all the things we really want to do in life are labelled ‘hard’ by the mind. It’s the easy things that stop us doing what we really want as we are tricked by the mind to see these stalling, avoidance tasks, as ‘easy’ and instantly gratifying.

We become uncomfortable in our comfort zones. Stuck just doing easy things and missing the joy of doing what we really want to do.

Frightened of our own shadow

The most amazing thing about life is the mystery, the adventure, the leap into the unknown, what’s around the next corner, the freedom of exploring, the joy of the magical tense moment of not knowing what’s next…uncertainty, imperfection and the unknown bring the most amazing parts of life, bring exhilaration and the sense of really being alive now in this real moment.

Yet we have created culture that demands no risk, no uncertainty, safety, and certainty. It keeps us trapped in our fear-filled thoughts of impending doom and risk.

Is it any wonder that we are the most depressed, addicted and medicated humans to ever walk the planet.

The never ending search for zero risk and complete certainty is thrust upon us by the psychological fear of everything and anything, even our own shadow.
