Easy is always best

"Nothing you want is upstream." Abraham

I've been thinking about my assumption that it is easy to hold costs in line, expand your menus, and eat really well. For me, easy is always best. I've done my share of struggling in life, so I know what that's about. And it's just so much easier to relax into the flow of life. My assumption is that being in the flow of life is aligning with Spirit and my highest good. Life wasn't meant to be a struggle.

In my late teens I made the conscious decision NOT to pursue a career in music -- because music was easy! Music was my passion, and I thought that because it came easily to me that it couldn't possibly be my path. You see, my assumption was that anything worth doing required hard work and struggle. That's not to say that I didn't practice and study a lot. I did. But it wasn't hard work. It was challenging but it wasn't a struggle.

I have continued to study and to perform occasionally, and it is a joy for me. I've learned to allow that creative, expressive part of me to come forth in song, and in other modes of communication, such as writing, teaching, and speaking. And there's an incredible blessing in this. Looking through the eyes of Spirit I recognize that I am a communicator and that there are MANY ways to allow Spirit to pour forth through me.

In this knowing I find my divine purpose.

I love what Edwene Gaines says on the subject of finding your divine purpose in her terrific book The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity (page 198). Look at the ease in this!

"The easiest way to make a plan up is to ask yourself, "What would be the most fun thing I could do with my life?" And THAT is your divine purpose.

I'll say it again: Earth is the party planet. We are here to have fun. If you aren't having fun with your life, you're not doing it right. The era of the Christian martyr is over. And what I want you to know about me is that you can totally count on me to be part of the party."

And on the next page:
"There are some people in your life who don't know who you are. And you can't allow them to stop you from doing what you are here on Earth to do. You are on a divine mission, and you cannot be derailed."

And you? Have you found your divine purpose? Are you allowing it to be easy -- and fun? You ARE divine, you know, so of course you are on a divine mission.

How perfect! It's EZ!
