For the longest time, I felt defined by my struggle.
Part cultural, part upbringing – success has always been synonymous to struggle.
But as I've gotten older, I've began to see that struggle for the sake of struggle can also become a huge barrier to both success and happiness.
The harder path is rarely the better path; this is especially true of friendships, relationships and community.
Finding natural alignment with our skills, interests and values - can often help us become more successful because we spend less time struggling over meaningless detail and more time co-creating.
Attuning ourselves to what is Easy can often help us reserve our energy for struggle that is most meaningful.
Anecdote
For the longest time, I would do projects that were difficult for th e sake of them being difficult.
