The Hard Way or the Easy Way

In every moment we choose between the hard way and the easy way. The hard way is choosing the ego’s way, which is the denial of our true Nature. It takes constant vigilance to deny What we are in truth and make believe that we are something else. Yet we have taught ourselves to do this automatically. Because we have taught ourselves so thoroughly, it seems to be the easy choice to make.

The other choice, the only real choice, is to accept our Self as the Love we are. It takes no effort to be What we were created to be. But it takes great vigilance to interrupt the habit of denying What we are. Thus it seems that to accept the Truth is the hard way, but it’s only the need for vigilance against the habit of denial that requires our willingness and our constant attention.

Today our practice is to pay attention, moment by moment, to the Inspiration of our true Self, the Holy Spirit in our mind. With this practice, we will make the choice that leads to the easy, gentle, happy flow of Love.
