Okay so first let me explain the Lionel Richie video. I wanted to share a post about the word easy. So I go to YouTube as I always do and that was the only thing I could think of with the word easy. So I listened to it and the boy can sing… so I thought it would be cool to share.

So I have been really taking in my life recently. I have been focusing more on my NOW. Things have been very dynamic and every day is like a new adventure. I am loving my life right now and it is certainly not easy.

So I wanted to look more into that word, easy. I went to dictionary.com to look it up. Here are some definitions:

not hard or difficult; requiring no great labor or effort

free from pain, discomfort, worry, or care

providing or conducive to ease or comfort

not difficult to influence or overcome

After reading those, would you really want easy?! Easy is for weak people. Do you consider yourself a weak person? If so, stop right now! If not, then stop looking for things to be easy!

I’ll use an example with my kids (of course). I never just give them money, they always do something to earn it. I do not want them to think that money is easy to come by. I want them to know they can have as much of it as they want… they just need to work for it. And you don’t have to always work for it. Once you start making it, it can work for you.

I think there is this association between easy being good and hard being bad. Who ever started that belief? And why do so many of us believe it?

Easy = Good

Hard = Bad

I am redefining that right now! Easy is not bad. Requiring no effort is bad. Free from care is bad. Not difficult to influence or overcome is bad.

I have given birth to 4 children. Believe me, it was worth the discomfort!

So think about what your formula for life is. Easy = Bad? If so, you can change that right now!
