“It could all be so simple
But you’d rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars”
These lyrics are from Lauryn Hill’s Ex-factor, but this is the conversation that I had with myself this morning. It makes sense, It’s Winter Solstice Eve and I know that I’ve been in a season of healing and transforming. So what does any of it mean? Why were these words so heavy on my spirit. I honestly believe that I ‘ve lived a large part of my life making things more difficult than they need to be . I don’t always stop to find the path of least resistance. I believed that anything and everything that I want or need can only be obtained through hard work…blood, sweat and tear.
Success comes after struggle
Life has to be hard before it can be easy
I have to do it all in order to have what I want….
Life is hard
Would you believe me if I told you that it was all a lie? Would you believe me if I said life should flow? That life could be easy? That I could have it all? Not this or that…but this and that ….oh and that too.
It’s possible!
So I’m officially breaking up with the idea that success comes after hard work. I’m letting go of the thought that I’ll be rewarded for my scars!
It can and will be simple!
No battles or scars necessary!
This concept can be applied to all areas of my life….
The Journey continues…
