Dare to be

Dare to be. Dare to be effortless. Dare to be the one who doesn't have something to complain about every single moment of every single day. Dare to be the one who can say "yeah, i got this. i totally understand and i can do it in my sleep," instead of needing to prove how hard you work, and to defend and justify your job. (Hey - just because it's easy for YOU doesn't mean anyone else can do it!) Dare to be the one to say, " yeah, i got this, i totally understand -- NEXT!" when it comes to relationship struggles, life lessons, spiritual development. Dare to embrace what we've been working for, "practicing" all of our lives up until this moment in time. Embrace the fruits of your labor. But wait! Yoga says that in order to reach enlightenment, you must give up the fruits of your labor. Yes, but until you acknowledge that you have something valuable to give away (your fruits), then you aren't really giving anything up in the first place.

Dare to be effortless. And watch yourself cease to fit in. Then what? Can we give up the fruits of that labor? The fruits of the friends we've cultivated, the life we've created, the place for ourselves in that life that we've created? Are we willing to give that up and not fit in, in order to embrace what we've been working for our whole life?

Dare to be effortless. I double dare you.
And let me know how it turns out. Seriously, I'd like to know.
