The easiest change you will ever make is doing something right.
The hardest thing is what you are not doing right now.
Repeating the same mistakes, habits and choices take you further from your goals. Looking at what you did (or did not do) yesterday is hard because today you can see the consequences.
Maybe you are doing some good things and you feel great about them. Please keep going with those.
But for those little things that happen each day because a little choice was made, that is hard.
Most of the time, we already know what will happen when we make a choice. We know that the other choices were possible but we chose hard. We used all of our energy and brain power to create very good excuses as to why the choice was made. Some excuses are quite impressive so kudos to those of you who really try hard to underestimate yourselves and believe that it just does not matter, because that is the hardest thing you will ever do.
We all know that it all matters.
Even the smallest choices matters because they led to where you are today.
Every choice fuelled by doubt, ignorance and pity feels hard. Those choices pull you away from what you could be – and you know in the moment that you are self sabotaging and punishing from the inside out. We might even claim it is easier in the moment, but we really know that all the consequences make it harder for what comes next.
We must do better to save ourselves from the hardest of futures filled with more regrets, further harm and impossible dead ends.
Believe that you can do better by doing the right thing.
When choices are made that benefit your true self, they continually feed your desire for more. They unlock the blockages caused by stagnation. They bring light to those corners of your soul that wish only to be seen. Most of all, the right choices feel right because you are being who you truly are meant to be.
When you are aligned with doing the best for your true self, you will find energy and strength and passion that keeps you moving forward.
Even if small, doing the right thing today, will feel like the easiest thing tomorrow.
It is never hard to live your truth.
