Years ago, I sent an email with the subject: life is supposed to be fun.
A follower of mine was bothered by this.
She sent me a reply, letting me know the reasons that’s NOT true.
It’s wild that a belief as innocent as this one can cause anger and frustration in some people.
But, I get it.
Our brains don’t like to be wrong.
If we believe that ‘life is hard’ we’d rather be “right” and feel justified in our shitty belief than explore a new one.
Why?
1. It’s “easier”
2. The ego is powerful
3. We lack the tools (and knowledge) to evolve beyond our limitations
I used to believe that life was hard.
I used to believe…
Bills are hard to pay.
Student loan debt is normal.
I have to do things I hate to get to where I want to go.
Relationships are supposed to be hard.
Your twenties are supposed to suck.
I made decision after decision to prove these true.
Willingly signed up for debt — no questions asked. Tolerated poor behavior in relationships. Stayed in jobs that were eating at my soul.
??
ALL OF OUR THOUGHTS CREATE OUR RESULTS.
And so once I found this work, I changed the narrative.
{smack dab in the middle of the “hardness”}
I decided to BELIEVE that life gets to be easy for me.
I decided that it was possible for me.
I decided to never subscribe to the struggle ever again.
And since then, I’ve created more ease and freedom than ever. Working two days a week, unlimited vacation time, money in the bank and a drama-free relationship.
Simply by changing my beliefs.
Period.
