Struggle and conflict are attributes of the ego. Ease and peace are attributes of our true Self. We can use the experience of struggle and conflict as reminders that it is time to step back and return to our center of peace within. The ego loves it when we try to bull our way through struggle, for we are identified with the ego and attempting to use the ego’s ineffective means to solve problems.
While we believe we are in the world, there still appear to be things to do. When we let our true Self guide our doing, it will always be with ease and peace. As we practice paying attention to how we are experiencing the present moment — with struggle and conflict or ease and peace — each moment becomes an exercise in letting our Self lead. Struggle and conflict show us that we have turned away from our Self and so it is time to turn back. Ease and peace affirms that we let our true Self lead.
Today we will be vigilant for ease and peace.
