AN EASY LIFE

It occurs to me that many people think life is supposed to be difficult. Everything seems to be a struggle. The glass is always half empty as opposed to half filled. Why do you think people think that life is supposed to be that way?
It has been said that parents teach their children that life is hard. “Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy”. That is what I heard growing up. You are supposed to work hard and struggle and then life will be meaningful and you will be living a good life. If anything came easy, you were said to be lucky.
Through years of spiritual awakening and learning and studying the self growth gurus, they all say that life is supposed to be easy, fun, exciting, adventurous, challenging. No where in their teachings is there mention that life is supposed to be hard, a drag, something to endure.
I believe that really deep down we know it, but there has been a lot that has clouded our view. And because of those clouds, we are hesitant and afraid to admit that we know that that is true. So we feel guilty for enjoying our lives and make sure that we have just enough drama to make our lives seem worthwhile.
And that prevents us from having a great life. What if you allowed life to be easy ? You didn’t have to struggle. What if you had wonderful people and support in your life who handled much of your stuff, a great tax accountant, real estate experts who handled your real estate investments?
What if you had amazing perfect health and felt great and strong and were at a weight that you were happy about? What if you had more than enough money to make all your dreams come true?
Then what. What would you do? My feelings are that people are so accustomed to not allowing life to be fun and challenging that they purposely, although not consciously make life hard for themselves. Instead of having a great life or even daydreaming about that possibility, they have a hard time believing it could be so much easier than they imagine.
Well I am here to say, give it a chance. Ease up a little, if only for a moment, take a deep breath, and don’t force things so much. And before you know it, even allowing life to be easy will become easier.
