The Hard way or the Easy Way

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought :


There is an easy way and there is a hard way in life. Ever notice how many times we do things the hard way? Perhaps there is an underlying belief from our upbringing that says "Anything worth getting is gotten by hard work.", "Only those who work hard get ahead.", or "If you don't work really hard then you don't deserve to get what you want."
Then there is the people pleasing factor. Feeling that people will judge us on how hard "they" feel we worked, so we make sure we "over" work to earn their favor. The desire for the seal of approval, the fear of not being or doing things "perfect", the need to postpone enjoyment until we have dutifully exhausted ourselves in the pursuit of a goal are all about outward focus.
Now here is the easy way to do things and keep your focus inward, on you. This is from Zig Ziglar:
     Is it honest?
     Is it True?
     Is it the Best that
     I can Do?
Go within and ask yourself this each day and in each situation or project. If the answer is yes to all three then you will have achieved self satisfaction, self approval and the self realization that you did your best, were your best and you deserve to enjoy the best results and rewards from a simple life formula.

Affirm:
   Today I do things the easy way, just by being the Best ME and doing the Best that I can do in all situations!

Have an easy Monday!
