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 culture’s 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 NEED NOT WORRY OR STRUGGLE, I NEED SIMPLY TO ENJOY THE PROCESS OF LIFE AND REALIZE THAT I WILL EFFORTLESSLY ATTRACT ABUNDANCE INTO MY LIFE.
TAKE ACTION: Today’s 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.
“It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.”
Edmund Spenser
