Why Do You Try So Hard?

Christopher: A child enjoys the moment as it unfolds. They never feel while doing one thing that they should be doing something else.

They never do things because they think they should do them. They never say to themselves -”I’ll do what I really want to do, but later when I have finished this really long to-do list. I have to do the things I should do first, and then I can have fun. If I have time by then.”

That is not how it’s supposed to be.



Your life is supposed to be fun.

Fun isn’t something to be saved for later to do if you have time after all the things you feel like you should do.

Why not do what you really feel like doing, that you would have fun doing?

-” I can’t do that”, you say. -”All these important things would never get done if I don’t force myself to do them. Everyone can’t just go around enjoying their life all day every day. That would just be lazy, and nothing would ever get done. Society would fall apart.”

Really? How do you know? Have you ever tried it?

Or is it really just something you have been taught by the people around you, who themselves have been taught this way of thinking when they were new to this Earth? Just because most people are doing something in a certain way does not mean that there are no other ways, that maybe would work even better for you?

Why should other people from years ago decide in what way you ought to do things?

They believed that it was for your own good to teach you to conform to the humans surrounding you. It was easier for them to feel good when you did things they believed were good. They did not know that how they felt was always in their power to control.

They did their best to train you to be the way they wanted you to be.

But that was in a past time. You have the power to control your own thoughts, just as other people have the power to control how they think.

In this time of now, your past has no influence on you except for how you choose now to think of then.

Today is a new day, and you can choose in every moment how you want to think, how you want to feel.

You are free.



Things you feel you “should” be doing, never leads to what you want anyway.

If what you are wanting is, for example, a good-feeling, tidy home, struggling with the cleaning of it and forcing yourself to tidy even when you don’t feel like it, will never lead you to what you want, which in this case is an easy to maintain, effortlessly kept up with home that feels good to come home to.

Struggling with doing things you don’t really feel like doing will only create more struggle and even less instances of feeling like it in your future. It will only get harder this way, and you will only create more overwhelming, not-feeling-like-it feelings.

Your future is created as an amplification of how you feel mostly now, you see.

Struggling never leads to the life you want.

By going with your inspiration, by doing in each minute what you really feel like doing, by giving yourself permission to never again do anything you don’t want to do; that is how you get to everything you want.

By going with the flow, and let it take you along in its current, you will become the person you want to be, who leads the life you want to lead.

And it will be effortless.



Let yourself do what you are inspired to do in each moment, Beloved.

Christopher
