I have found ease as I live paycheck to paycheck, finding new ways to pay for my rent, making the effort to spend some of the money on giving gifts, studying full time towards my dream, working through my fears with the past mistakes the haunt me from time to time, and being far away from the love of my life.
Your life can be easeful and exhausting and difficult all at the same time. Except when you choose ease, you let go of control, you become part of the flow, and you take it one step at a time no matter how hard. Finding ease does not mean that the difficult parts will fully vanish. Just like how choosing happiness won’t eliminate the sadness. Why so desperate to get away from the dark anyways? The darkness has its own beauty. The pain of being born into this world and leaving it, is what nurtures our growth.
My life is easeful not because I have the money, or I’ve created my dream job, or that I am exactly where I want to be. My life is easeful because I have let go of my expectations, I dream without being hung up on it, and I open myself to the magic of this journey, welcoming things far greater than I could imagine, without my mind’s limitations. I am pleasantly surprised everyday!
So, what is your reality? Because it’s your choice.
