I Am Choosing the Easy Route

“You can have the hard way. I’m choosing the easy route.” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

If you didn’t work hard for it— or have a tough enough backstory— you don’t deserve the good life. Well, I’m over that. You, can take the hard way. I’m choosing the easy route.”

Unpopular belief: hard work is overrated and tapping into guidance is not cheating. Some of us refuse to use the tools, practices, and spiritual “gifts” we have, because we feel like if we didn’t work hard for it, we have an unfair advantage….

Well, I’m tired of struggling, when I know better. I know that I can sit down for 15 minutes and meditate and have the most beautifully aligned, showed up at 100% in all the roles in my life, not even tired when evening hits… type of day. I’ve done it so many times! But instead of doing that consistently, I spend every day worried about everything under the sun, rather than just go internal for a minute and get clear on my next steps.

Why do I do that? Because our society teaches us that if you didn’t work hard for it, you’re cheating the system. If you you get help, that’s unfair to those who are on their grind. We’re taught that “nothing good comes easy.” “No pain, no gain.” It’s only of value if it comes through “blood, sweat, and tears.”

Dafuq?

Yeah, no. I’m over that. I’ve struggled enough. I’ve fought enough. I’ve tried the hard way long enough….

Maybe sitting still to get clarity is annoying because I am trained to “get up and go.” However, I know that sitting still for those 15 minutes, can give me everything I need to have THE MOST productive, successful, fun, amazing day! I can proudly grab my “cheat sheet” at the start of my day and get so much more accomplished than I would “hitting the ground running.”

I’m over being in angst, frustrated, and just getting an eighth of my tasks done…. only being great at one or two of my roles in any given day.

I want to enjoy my life. I want to have more successes. I want to feel aligned throughout my day. I’m over trying to keep up with what society says, and what this business coach says, and what that influencer says. I’m going to make a commitment to getting MY personalized instructions for my day, and to check back in throughout the day. I’m done going it alone. It’s too uphill and exhausting. I’m prioritizing connecting with my inner knowing and so I can move forward with ease.

I’m done struggling for the good life. That finish line keeps gettin farther away. I’m gonna let it flow in with ease by following higher guidance.

I’m going to meditate and seek higher guidance. I don’t care, if that’s “not the way it’s done.” That sh*t works! Every. Single. Time.

Blessings!
