Exhale. Life does not take any effort.  In fact, in spite of the terrible odds against it, life continues, unscathed.  Life on this planet has rejuvenated itself from utter destruction and devastation caused by meteors at least twice that we are aware of.  It takes no effort for plant life to thrive.  Forests that have been burned down continue to grow back, animals continue to procreate, the earth continues to thrive.  It took no effort for our species to evolve, only time.  It took no effort to move from molecular chaos to sentient beings.  None of this transformation required anything other than just existing.  It’s what all life does… it thrives and evolves. Why do we make this existence so difficult?  We seemingly require so much more maintenance.  Is it emotional satiation?  Is it boredom? We get entirely caught up in our daily grinds, misfortunes, and minor tribulations that we end up thinking “This life is difficult.”Alas, it’s not difficult.  Life is easy.  Life requires no effort.  Thriving requires nothing more than just existing. It sounds like a lie to you because you’ve conditioned yourself to think and believe differently.  However, I challenge you to change the way you think– remind yourself that life happens, and that we can easily thrive just by Being.  There are so many facets of life.  Death is part of life.  It’s just another link in the chain of existence; without it, life could absolutely not continue.  Death, though we’ve created an emotional attachment to it, is nearly as beautiful as life.  We fear it because we naturally fear what it unknown to us.  We grieve it because we form emotional bonds with Life.   These are okay reactions to death, but it’s important to remember that ultimately this is all just part of our thrivation. Life does not take effort.  It may take a little positive energy, and a little creative talent.  But it is effortless, and thriving is just what it does.  Be.
