Simply

Why does it feel like the simplest of instructions in life feel like the hardest thing to do?

Let me give you some examples.

Relax;

When you’re tense and every worry works on your nerves… you’re told to relax;  you know you need to relax and it seems like it’s an easy prescription, yet you find yourself struggling with being able to relax. How hard is it to simply relax?

Trust;

You don’t know what to do and everyone tells you to trust. It’s easy to trust, but we find ourselves constantly working over the issue in our mind. How hard is it to simply trust?

Let Go;

We need to let the past go because it doesn’t serve us, and we are told to let go, but we find our self once again retelling the same old sad song as if it was a broken record. How hard is it to simply let go?

Life is full of these examples of simply not being able to follow the simplest of coaching.

Relaxing, trusting, letting go, forgiving, or hoping can be applied to your life; it may come easy for others while a struggle for some, but the point is to never ever give up.

If you have to remind yourself a hundred times a day to relax, then simply do that. If you have to tie a string around your finger as a reminder to stop worrying, then simply do that.

Keep moving forward and stop looking back; I know that sounds easy, and as we have learned, sometimes the hardest things are the easiest solutions, but we’ve also learned to never give up. Don’t let the simply easy be simply hard…it’s that simple.
