The final obstacle to living easy life, regardless of income or situation, is that we forget we're immortal. We forget that real life, life of our soul, is eternal. My present physical embodiment is only one of many. If I don't get it "right" this time I have other chances. It's like getting an infinite number of tries to make a free throw in basketball. No pressure, just keep shooting until you score.

So do you want an easy life? Well, then choose it. Choose to be at ease with life. Set your goals, declare your intentions, but don't own specific results. Take what life brings to you as your rightful gift, perfect result for you at this time. There was a time when I wanted a promotion to next management level. I saw that as a way to provide more of leadership I could give to more people. But it didn't happen, and that was perfect. You see, with hindsight I saw that brand of leadership I can provide is better suited to level I already held. And what life did bring me was increasing insight and competence in leadership at that level.

Now it isn't always easy to simply choose to be something. Even though that's most straightforward way, if a person isn't used to it, isn't confident it can be done, it can seem impossible. A hint from Lou Tice of The Pacific Institute may help. The next time you're in a set of difficult circumstances, next time life seems very difficult, Lou suggests asking this question, "What would this experience be like for me if life were easy?" If you can see results that would occur if life were easy you'll be close to accepting that reality as a possibility. Once you can visualize yourself in a situation you're well on way to achieving it.

In past I often viewed life as a struggle. And of course, it was because of my belief--just same as if I prayed for life to be a struggle, just same as if I affirmed, "I am a person who struggles with life." So affirm that life is easy. See world around you as a world where life is easy and watch it become easier. And remember that life is eternal. Not everything is riding on your shoulders this one time around.

Turn up music, light some candles, maybe a few sips of wine, and DANCE. Let your Spirit go, feel renewed energy pulsing through you, and feel your Spirit start to SOAR!

Open doors and windows ... birds are performing a concert in your backyard today ... just for you.

Look outside and you'll discover nature is in a constant dance around you, why aren't you dancing?

Forget dust bunnies. Forget about unmade beds. Forget about bills, piles and files. Forget about organizing photos, cupboards, and closets.

These things can wait one more hour or one more day until you learn how to dance again.

Dance! Dance like there is no tomorrow!

Smiles, not Piles,
