DAY 15
How
to Live Effortlessly
We have
all been thoroughly indoctrinated with so much negative propaganda about
our lives that it is a wonder we can remember how to be happy at all.
At every turn we are reminded that life is a struggle, that work is
difficult, that solving our problems will take tremendous effort, and
that earning money is hard, hard work.
Our cultures
extreme focus on individualism, competition, and consumerism has stripped
from us the ability to truly relax and enjoy the process of life, and
bask in the effortlessness of our evolution. The effort we are asked
to express in this lifestyle drains our spiritual, creative energy.
We need
only look beyond our societal expectations to see how deluded we are.
The natural world is dynamic, active, constantly growing and evolving,
yet it is driven without any effort. Everything that is truly important
in the world is done without the kind of striving effort that our conscious
minds are so used to. The forests of the earth grow effortlessly, the
seasons change effortlessly, the cells of your body have grown from
a microscopic fetus to a fully intelligent being effortlessly. Your
body is, in this very instant, performing tens of thousands of highly
specific actions in order to keep you alive without any input from your
conscious mind.
What you
must learn is that your conscious mind is not meant to be used to worry
about any of the functions of living. There is a deep intelligence at
work in the universe, and you must develop the faith that this intelligence
will meet your needs just as it meets the needs of every cell in your
body, and every animal on the planet.
Your conscious
mind should be used only to direct the focus of your life. Consciously
decide in which direction you want to evolve, and then let the infinite
energy of your inner self take over. Realize that you can attract money
without any effort on your part, and realize that it is okay to do so.
Obviously
you will need to use your energy in the physical world, but when you
are doing what you want you will not be filled with stress but with
joy and enthusiasm. Hard work is for those who have not bothered to
learn how their minds work. For you, life is truly effortless, and truly
enjoyable.
Take five
minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I PLACE
MY FAITH IN THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNIVERSE TO FULFILL MY NEEDS. I
DON'T NEED TO WORRY OR STRUGGLE, I SIMLY NEED TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF
LIFE AND REALIZE THAT I WILL EFFORTLESSLY ATTRACT ABUNDANCE INTO MY
LIFE.
TAKE
ACTION: Todays action is effortless. Simply decide to no longer
use your conscious mind for worrying thoughts. Whenever you think thoughts
that fill your body with tension, focus your mind on your goals and
leave it to your powerful subconscious mind to work out the details.
QUOTE
OF THE DAY: It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh
wretch or happy, rich or poor. --Edmund Spenser
