If you are struggling in your life, then I guarantee struggle you are experiencing is laced with emotion. Nothing is wrong with emotions, and they are wonderful gifts that come along with this human body. However, emotions of guilt, shame, blame, remorse, regret, jealousy, fear and hatred are emotions that will ruin your life and keep you in a state of struggle. Why not gift yourself with love, compassion and even joy.

The choices we make and events those decisions create, either produce struggle or harmony. How can you let go of struggle? Easy. You first have to choose to do so. I mean make an honest to goodness conscious choice that you no longer desire to struggle. The real power lies in our choices. When you can consciously choose each moment, then you can start creating peace, love and harmony you desire.

If you start looking at which emotions you are attached to, you will begin to see how those emotions are running your life. Do you blame others for what happens in your life, or are you ready to take responsibility that everything is in your life because you have allowed it to be there? Taking responsibility is most powerful step you can take to bring your life back into harmony and out of struggle. That means you can no longer play victim or abuser.

Fear is probably biggest cause of struggle. We are so caught up in fear, that we don’t know whether we are afraid to die or afraid to live. We have fear of survival, fear of success, fear of failure and fear for just about everything you can imagine. What is at root of your fear? Is it real or just an illusion? Most of our fears are not real.

Replace struggle with effort. It takes effort for our human journey. It takes effort to get up in morning and choose to be happy. It takes effort to drive across town to deposit your check, and it takes effort to be best husband, wife, mother, father or friend. The difference between struggle and effort is emotion behind it. Effort is a choice. Effort is just effort and is not laced with emotions. It is drive to do our best, to achieve, or to be happy and abundant. The effort is worth it in end.

Everyday upon awakening, I make a conscious choice to be happy, healthy and abundant. Remember, you cannot expect results if you do not commit each day. If you plant seeds in ground and you have one day of warm weather and then 15 days of cold weather, seeds will not germinate. Your life works same way.

Life is not meant to be a struggle. We are here to make known unknown, to experience life fully, and live in peace, harmony and joy. Anything less than that should not be acceptable. It is always about choice. If you choose each moment well, you will find real freedom and a life free of struggle. If I make it sound easy, then that was my intent, for life is easy, if you allow it to be. Life always creates more life without struggle. Existence continues. No struggle. It just is.

I developed a better understanding of what I need to do to promote a website in various search engines.

I learned how to locate and join various affiliate programs that complements theme of my site.

And most importantly of all, I took a step forward in right direction rather than just sat back and dreamt about my goal, which is more than most people do.

The above example uses a business-oriented website, but surely you can see how this would apply for any task or goal. If after a week of dieting you lost no weight, you know you've done something wrong and should tweak your formula. If after a month of studying a foreign language you still don't have any of basics down, you know you're too distracted or undedicated at your current pace and thus need to up ante a bit. No matter what your goal may be, failure is never end of road – it's a lesson that will lead to future success.
