We are conditioned to believe that life is supposed to be hard.
And that Struggle means you are courageous and strong.
Struggle is like taking a cross country trip in your car with the
emergency brake on. You may get there, but you are burned out at
the end, and you missed most of the fun sights on the way.
As it turns out, struggle is highly overrated.
We hear inspirational stories about people who have "struggled
against all odds" to become successful. How often do we hear
positive things about the people who are successful because they DO
NOT struggle?
Struggle is life's treadmill.
The need to struggle and effort to get what we want is an illusion,
and like all other illusions (or assumptions) by their very nature
they keep us from seeing the truth that's right before us.
Struggle is trying to rearrange the world so that it aligns with
the way you think it should be. It is the greatest source of
unhappiness in our world today. It happens when you focus on what
you perceive you don't have, instead of embracing what you do have.
We live in a time of striking contrasts. There is tremendous
prosperity for some and outrageous poverty for others. We have so
much available to us, yet we continue to strive for more and more.
So what's going on? We must change our paradigm and see abundance
as a mind set. Abundance is waking up to the reality that you are
already the person you yearn to become and that you already have
everything you need in this moment.
The denial or more accurately the resistance to who you really are
is what keeps you struggling. Abundance is about falling in love
with WHOM and WHERE you are. It is focusing on all that you have
and not losing yourself in all that you don't have. In the end it
is this thought that allows you to create anything you desire.
