Effort is a blessing

Difficult is nothing more than an arbitrary judgment. Effort is effort, and you can do it if you choose.

A great achievement requires much effort. Yet that effort is difficult only when you see it as such.

Instead of obsessing over how difficult or easy it is, just do it. Focus on the result and, what's even more important, your reason for making it happen.

Every effort is a blessing. For effort enables you to live the life you choose to live.

You have the priceless opportunity of being able to do what it takes. Put joy in the effort, whatever it may be, and reap the rewards of making a difference.

Welcome the effort and all the value it gives you the opportunity to create.

Not being able to do everything is no excuse for not doing everything you can.

Breathing room

Look back on your life up to this point and you'll quickly see that many of your worries and concerns were completely unfounded. So why do you still insist on cranking out those worries at every turn of events?

How many times have you looked back on an occasion with the regret that you didn't simply enjoy yourself? There's nothing you can do about those past regrets, but there's plenty you can do about right now.

It's ridiculously easy to enjoy life, no matter what the situation. It's just a matter of letting go.

Let go of the worry and anxiety, of the anger and envy, of the need to be right and the need to control everyone else. Let go of the need to have everything your way.

Underneath all those layers of need and worry and negativity, there is pure joy. When you simply accept what is, and choose to enjoy the goodness in it, life can be wonderfully rich and beautiful.

Stop worrying and fighting so much, and start enjoying a little more. Give joy some breathing room and it will flourish in your life.
