On that path we find a life that is full to overflowing with the rewards and goodness of God. No one desires to struggle; all of us want to experience the best for our lives. But the best doesn't come without cost...there is a price we must pay. In order to experience the blessings of God, we must first willingly conform our will to the will of our Father.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember, blessings come only when we pursue God's will for our lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daily Confession&lt;br&gt;Father, I thank You that I am willing and obedient and I eat the best of the land. I keep Your commandment and pursue Your will for my life. I am not conformed to this world but I am transformed by renewing my mind, proving Your perfect will.&lt;br&gt;-------------------------------------------------------&lt;br&gt;Let us stay in the 'Word' reading and Speaking it Daily, Living in Power and Grace, for if God go before us, Who can come against us?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rejoice! HE goes before us and shows us the Way.  Remember, Easter is about YOUR Ressurection as well as Christ's ...

I think it's very true that sometimes all it takes is a little "convincing" yourself that things are easy, and as you think about it, you bring about circumstances that will make that happen - the law of attraction! =)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also use the Ho'oponopono method devised by the Hawaiaan's.. Basically, you just say to yourself the words, "I love you", "I'm sorry", "Please forgive me" and "Thank you" over and over again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're as curious as me as to how this works when I first heard it, you can read all about &lt;a href="http://www.asksaiful.com/2008/01/14/zero-limits-summary/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.asksaiful.com/2008/01/14/zero-limits-summary/"&gt;the Ho'oponopono method here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. I heard Brian told you about the Facebook Group I set up yesterday! =)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To CANI,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SaiF&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.asksaiful.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.asksaiful.com"&gt;The World's First Teen&lt;br&gt;Personal Development Video Blogger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">SaiF</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:58:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Belief Called Struggle</title><link>http://www.mikelitman.com/blog/2008/03/the-belief-called-struggle/#comment-15913855</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Mike,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Funny how I have been aware recently that I think of a person and they either call me or "show up" unannounced...spooky.  But, I liken it to what you describe here, as the effort is my thinking about that which I want, and dampen the old thoughts of how much I am struggling to keep the business rolling.

Your post today really resonated and clarified that I still hold too many junk beliefs, one of which is that I have always been taught that everything is supposed to be a struggle. I guess I still have a way to go in consistently maintaining a 100%  abundance mentality.

When I started to become more conscious of my thoughts and my self talk and changed those which were negative into more positive, I began achieving what I set out to... and the struggle and the effort fades away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeanne&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goalsnaspirations.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.goalsnaspirations.com"&gt;http://www.goalsnaspiration...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeanne May</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:38:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Belief Called Struggle</title><link>http://www.mikelitman.com/blog/2008/03/the-belief-called-struggle/#comment-15913847</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Mike-you do a great job of motivating others. I'm so grateful that I trusted a higher part of myself to let you teach me more. That was 2 years ago. After shaking off many of my fears and doubts, and continually putting in the effort I am now beginning to notice some real results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Junk beliefs like life's hard, we must work hard and struggle to make it big, or we usually don't get what we wish for are all small, self-sabotage ego talk. We let those old outdated beliefs run our lives. I find another junk belief to be just as irritating, the small self ego talk of 'just play it safe'. We say that to ourselves everyday, and live our lives accordingly. We find a secure feeling in doing things this way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's a false sense of SECURITY though. Because I have found in all areas of my life whether it was in relationships, work, or career believing playing it safe most of the time is what messes so many people up, and almost never brings them more of what they really want. Usually less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It did me until I was 47. Now please keep in mind that you can not always go out on a limb-beyond your comfort zone-in every single thing you set out to do. You will definitely take some unnecessary falls if you do. That would be a dangerous mentality to take. Don't overkill on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, every once in a while, trust your inner instincts. Challenge yourself to accomplish more. And more importantly, lower your expectations in how fast you will be able to reach your goal. Be realistic, don't judge what another has managed to do and think you should also be able to reach it in that amount of time. Above all else do it at a nice steady pace that is good for you so you won't burn out on it and give up too soon (you never know how close you might actually be to getting what you want). Be open to learning every day, and never assume you will ever know it all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With that being said...I'm so glad I took a chance on you Mike!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brenda&lt;br&gt;&amp;lt;a href="&lt;a href="http://www.mywater4life.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.mywater4life.com"&gt;http://www.mywater4life.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;lt;My Water 4 Life&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Brenda Skidmore</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:17:36 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
