It’s suppose to be easy

You have to pay your dues.

Nothing comes easy.

You have to work hard to get what you want.

We’ve all heard it.  Hard work pays off.  The problem with this statement is judgment.  What I mean is that I grew up believing that if I didn’t work hard I didn’t deserve it.  The problem with that way of thinking is that I don’t believe I deserve anything that I get easily and the consequence of thinking that way is that I create of life of hard work and no rewards because I never think that I work hard enough. I’m one of the hardest working people I know.  In fact, I would categorize myself as a workaholic.  I don’t feel like I’m a worthy person unless I’m working every single hour that I’m awake.  And then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I finally realized that I’m creating a life of doom and misery.  I work so hard on my films but I don’t seem to be making progress.  It’s like the quote by Alfred A. Montapert: Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.

So I’ve decided to implement “easy” into my life.  I put a new line in my Mind Movie:  “Everything is so easy”.

OMG

Since then, it’s been magic.  Yesterday I was called into the office where I work as an agency temp and they told me that they were going to hire me as a term employee.  That means that I’m going to get more money and benefits.  I didn’t even do anything.  It’s was easy.  In fact, my first thoughts were that I didn’t deserve it then I remembered the line in my mind movie and I thanked the universe because I know that the more grateful I am for things coming easily, the more things will come easily to me.

So I’m here to say that things should be easy.  I know I will be accomplishing so much more now that I seek easy.  I believe my work will be more effective and that I will start seeing great results.  In fact, it’s already started.

I’ve recently written a short film.  I’ve sent it out at various times to people and I’ve been having a very difficult time with getting the response I want from it.  I’ve gone back to the drawing board numerous times for re-writes and still haven’t been getting a good response.  The great thing is that I know I have something great on my hands so at least I haven’t given up.  But then, just today I got new feedback on the latest draft and I finally got amazing response.  I mean it’s so incredible.

So start believing that life is easy and start looking for the response from the universe.  It will start delivering immediately I guarantee it, but you have to look for it because you’re so used to it being hard.

Peace and love,
