You heard me right, trying IS trying. In fact, it’s one of the hardest things you can consistently do. Here’s what you can do to STOP!

Triers are triers…not doers. IF you desire to stop making your life so hard, STOP TRYING.

Instead…DO!!

That’s right. Do. And do. YOU.

D.O. IT.

Decide.

Own it.

FULLY.

Not, “JUST DO IT” as Nike says. But simply, powerfully, profoundly, DO IT.

Which at times means simply NOT trying so hard.

Stop thinking so much.

Stop trying so hard.

Stop pushing yourself…and let yourself go.

To BE.

FREE.

FREELY YOU.

Please stop TRYING so hard. Please stop making your life hard.

Growth is natural. But then why does it feel so hard sometimes?

Plants don’t TRY to grow. They simply grow.

Growth is natural. If it feels hard, chances are you’re TRYING to grow and you’re not actually growing.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Is it possible that you’re making your life hard?

Would you be open to changing the way you THINK about it?

Change the way you think about it. Stop thinking about it, and do. Make a decision and own it. Own what you’re doing, specifically being YOU.

Thank you for being here, and allowing me to sip on life with you.
