Are you 'efforting'?

What this means is a mental striving, a mental exertion of 'I must do this in order to get that' or 'I have to work really hard in order to get my message across' or 'If I do nothing, I'm going to stay stuck' etc.

At its heart is a deep rooted fear, a lack of trust in the universe, which unfolds every moment in ways our little mind can only dream of.

Often, things happen to us 'unexpectedly', and these things, these designs from the universe have come to our avatar (this body) to do something with.
The people we meet, it's all down to chance - to where we were at the time. Did you sit down years ago and write a plan on how you met your current circle of friends? Or did you meet by pure universal wisdom?

Following the universal 'way' is what is known as Wu Wei, or the art of non-striving, the art of allowing what is happening to be happening without coercion, manipulation or trying to make something fit better. Any manipulation is just your ego trying to make things 'a bit more comfortable' for you - yet by merely being awareness you automatically make things more comfortable without any effort on your part: you merely let go of the fear (which are thoughts about past and future).

If you're constantly striving for change, you miss the present moment and all the gifts it bestows. You miss the interconnected presence, the timeless awareness that knows what to do and when to do it. You miss heart centred love at the highest vibration, and enter more deeper, darker, dense layers of vibration through the annoyances, frustrations and anxiety of 'trying to fix' and 'getting upset when your desired outcome doesn't happen'.

It's not up to 'you' to change the world: you 'are' the world and are not separate from it.

Therefore, by being present, by being peace, by being happy, you are changing the entire universe's vibration in those moments. Wonderful things will begin to happen for you (but also, importantly, for the collective).

If you continue striving and getting frustrated, or work too hard, you could burnout, get depressed, get judgmental with your life.

Time for a change. Let go of striving! Don't effort so much. Be, and enjoy your day - what is there to fix in this moment? Trust that the universe has your back; it knows what to do. Allow it! Just watch and be mindful of your thoughts - because your thoughts are what changes your world, not your 'efforting'!
