Since we were little kids, people tell you that you have to make an effort to achieve what you want. You have to put in hard work and sweat (sometimes even bleed), etc. When you grow up you realize that it was nothing more than a belief inculcated in our mind from our earliest childhood.
In the measure we grow up we realize that striving doesn't guarantee anything, i mean, not an assured result. When we are not getting what we want, striving more is counterproductive, because it can block us and this tension cuts off all creativity and fluidity with life.
So, make an effort ... is it worth it? strive ... is it good for you or a bad thing?
You have to practice the virtue of effort, that will be good for you. However, to strive is not a positive thing... Yes, we must direct our effort to what we want. If we focus our attention on what we like, what we feel we have to do, it will manifest. You will dedicate all the time you want and it will not be an effort for you. You'll do it in a fluid way, with motivation. When there is this dedication to a task (or a job), effort and suffering just disappear, and the joy remains. And it's a great thing.
FLOWING instead STRIVING
For this we must know what is the secret of life, and what i mean about that is that you have to be self aware to know what we have come to this world.
There have always been people who seem to achieve many achievements with little effort, in the same way that many people try hard and get nothing.
and …. what is the secret?
There have always been people who want to get, with the same way that many people try hard and get nothing
How they do that? they BECOME DETACHED. Think about it like saying to the universe: "Hey, I give this to you, is in your hands now, resolve this for me".
You can't become obsessed with what you're trying to manifest because then you're going give off these desperate and anxious vibes which is going to halt the process instead of speed it up.
This doesn't mean that your attachment is a bad thing. Actually it means that is coming to you because it makes you feel great when you think about it.
When you detach from it, then you are applying the art of allowing. Here's how it works:
After manifesting what you want (whether drawing it, meditating, writing it down, etc.) you can say:
"This or something better is on its way to me."
Just saying that will make you feel more detached. You have to realize that practicing trusting is key.
If you focus on the how, on the where or even the reason why it's just going to mess with the precess
Your only job here is to want and it will come to you.
You have to stop with the questions and just enjoy your chosen path.
