Most of us were taught that life is hard and full of things we have to do whether we like it or not! From an early age we were programmed by our family and our culture with beliefs, values and principles to support working hard, putting others first and being productive.
What an eye opener it was the first time I heard that living a JOYFUL, struggle-free life was how we are supposed to live. And that having a life that works is the greatest gift we give the people we love, ourselves, and the world!
Here are 3 important things you need to know to have more joy and less struggle in your life.
- The first thing to know is that life is not supposed to be a miserable existence. Following your heart and satisfying your soul’s desires is foundational to having a life that works. Your Source speaks to you through your heart and soul. Pay attention.
- The second thing to know is there is no such thing as not enough time. Honestly, would you be less busy if there were 28 hours a day, 8 days a week, and 13 months a year? No! You’d just say yes to more things! Start saying “yes” to things that satisfy your soul and say “no” to things that don’t. This is your life to live . . . no one else’s.
- The third thing to know is it is not “lazy” to spend time “doing nothing,” or “daydreaming.” When you are detached from daily living, letting your mind run free you can more easily hear the guidance from your Source that is always leading you to becoming your Authentic Self and supporting you in living a purposeful life.
If you have the courage to create a life that works, you will be modeling for others how they can have a life that works. First they might call you selfish. But soon they will see how much happier you are and what a joy you are to be around. Some people will leave your life, and new people who are living lives that work will be drawn to you.
Imagine a world full of JOYFUL people, creating from a place of “want to” instead of “have to.” Each living the life they were born to live. Their “work” is filled with doing what makes their heart sing as they share their natural gifts and talents. No struggle. Just living in the flow.
Ahh! Heaven on earth!
