It Doesn’t Have To Be So Hard

Have you ever found yourself faced with some new insights in your life, or a new theme in your life or just found yourself struggling?
We all have, and I’m no different. Several months ago, I was struggling – going through a difficult time in my life, as many of us do at times – when a good friend of mine said if you ever feel like you have to fight, then it’s the wrong situation because life should never be about fighting, forcing or struggling. Instead, things in your life should just flow.
This may be a new analogy and even a challenge for you to consider, but what would happen if you stopped white-knuckling the steering wheel of life all the time?
Imagine driving in your car, your truck, or whatever you drive, and you have your hands at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions, or the 9:00 and 3:00 position, depending on the school of driving you went to, and you’ve got your fingers wrapped so firmly around the steering wheel that your knuckles have gone white. You’re fighting with the wheel, struggling to maintain your grip, but you can’t let go – just like in your life, just like in your business – you’re forcing and pushing for control.
In business, just as in life, very rarely can you have total control of every aspect. So, the challenge is to stop white-knuckling the steering wheel of your life and your business.
Instead, try opening your hands and hold things loosely.
When you loosen your grip, when you stop fighting the wheel and the direction you’re going and you stop trying to control every aspect of it, you begin to see changes in your life and your business.
It’s amazing the changes you’ll see when you hold things loosely, because it truly doesn’t have to be so hard. Your grip on the wheel, your business and your life doesn’t have to be as hard as it might feel right now.
Once you adopt this new philosophy you’ll find things in your life get easier. Your life will go from being hard and full of struggle to having an all new flow. A flow filled with ease and grace that will change your perspective on almost everything.
It doesn’t have to be so hard.
Stop pushing to make everything happen in your world and let things come to you more. You’ll find when you do this almost everything looks a little different to you – that will include your business and the rest of your life too.
