Effort

If I make an effort to achieve something...I'm probably not feeling it. There is something forced about effort. All good things in life should come effortlessly. Living with ease and grace is the opposite of effort; it is effortless. Although achieving the effortless grace and ease might come at a considerable amount of discipline and practicing beforehand.

Any relationship, friendship or partnership that requires effort leading to mental, emotional or intellectual exhaustion should be avoided. Life should be like a dance and your body should sway with the rhythms that present themselves while your feet follow the tempo. After a few moments of figuring it out, it should come naturally. It becomes second nature like breathing.

Life can be like a rollercoaster ride. Just imagine how wonderful it is when you can raise your arms in the air and trust the force of gravity while your hair whips wildly with the speed of the ride. It doesn't require any effort. It requires letting go and enjoying life as it comes.
