LIFE DOESN'T COME WITH AN EASY BUTTON.

LIFE DOESN'T COME WITH AN EASY BUTTON.

Life tests us; pushes and pulls us in ways that we cannot understand.

We are tempted to reach for the "easy" button when people and things in our life become difficult to manage.

It seems easy just to give in or give up when it hurts and when it gets hard.

When I discuss life issues such as finding your passion and purpose; self-love; courage; forgiveness, and staying positive, skeptics often retort:

·        "Teresa ... this is easy to say but not easy to do!"

·        "I like your posts, but it is not easy for me!'

·        "Easier said than done!"

I disagree 100% and I will explain why:

Being positive is a choice you make like every other choice you make.

It is easier to embrace a positive mindset than struggle with a negative one.

Life and everyone in it feels and looks better when you are positive and when you have the tools to manage it when things get challenging.

PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY DID NOT GET THE MEMO THAT WE LEARN AND GROW THROUGH ADVERSITY NOT EASINESS.

So, if I were to give you an "easy" button, what would you learn about yourself and life?

How would you find your purpose?

How would you find your courage?

How would you learn to overcome and heal?

How would you be an inspired person with a strengthened heart?

How would you be a victor or winner at life?

You will soon figure out that easy is not the best way to learn at all.

I discovered there is no "easy" button in life and that allows me to share my philosophy with all of you.. there is meaning in self-discovery.

I request that before judging whether a philosophy is valuable or has merit, do not give it the condition of being easy.

Come at life with an open mind and willing heart.
