You're Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

I am going to venture a guess here - I am going to guess you have a little known talent which would surprise many who know you on a casual basis.
Have you thought of it already?
I have a strange knack for something which may or may not surprise you.
The other night someone mentioned the classic television show Room 222.
I immediately began to hum the theme song. Just like that.
It's a strange talent yet it also comes in handy to provide laughter, connection and some perplexed faces looking at me in curiosity.
There is one television show I never watched but I know the theme song nonetheless. I mention it here because the simple, folksy lyrics paint a very clear picture of moving forward without struggling because the singer of the song has a very simple desire.
"Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'"
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving."
When we are "rollin' rollin' rollin' " along we are moving in a direction. In this particular song, the singer is guided by his vision:
"Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride."
He is focused on the end of the ride, not on what others might perceive as struggle on the journey towards his destination.
Read carefully now:
When we are in forward, inspired action there is no struggling.
When we are in forward, inspired action there is no struggling.
And now a little bit differently for good measure:
There is no struggling in forward, inspired action.
If there is struggling, you have made an important discovery. Somewhere fear has seeped into your action. If you are wrestling with deadlines, haftas, other people's business, shoulds, judgment or comparison, guess where you have somehow landed?
In the Land of Struggle -
Before you berate yourself further - listen to me clearly. Its ok, really, because the fact that you noticed where you are is a huge thing.... it will allow you to move beyond the struggle and into the ease of divine, inspired action.
Here's an example of what I mean.
I say it with astonishing regularity.
"It's SOOOOO easy!"
What do you hear in the words, "It's SOOOOOO easy"?
Perhaps you are thinking "Well, I tried what someone else suggested was sooooooo easy and it didn't work for me".
Hear me: I understand the reality that sometimes situations do not always have the rosey results we long to achieve.
And on the other hand, if we choose to stay stuck in the muck and mire of struggle we will achieve no results. We have heard about the many "failed attempts" of Thomas Alva Edison on the path towards inventing the light bulb and the exceptionally high number of strikeouts of Babe Ruth on his way to being a baseball batting champion.
They kept getting up, dusting themselves off and continuing. I venture to guess they even said "It's SOOOOO easy" on occasion, if they even thought about it. They were clearly committed to creating on a grand scale - not struggling on any scale.
It reminds me of my friends in the marketing world.
They realize that one of the keys to their success in marketing is about testing. And testing. And testing some more. Tweaking, doing research and testing. And then some more of what? Testing. Its not difficult. Its quite simply and easily testing.
Its SOOOOOOO easy.
Imagine the five people who are closest to you engaged in a conversation about what you reflect to the world. In their words, is there more "ease" and "flow" or is there more "struggle" and "strive"?
For today, experiment with committing and attaching yourself to the favored mantra, "It's SOOOOOO easy!"
What do you want to receive - create - manifest today?
Ask the, release it and say "It's SOOOOOO easy!" The answers to the question will come as you live the question itself, as Rainer Rilke reminds us.
Choose to see your vision as delightfully easy to achieve while maintaining a a non attachment to the outcome so that you can "test" just like marketers test.
Experiment. Dabble. Play. Be 100% present with your project, your vision, your guiding light.
You may start with the simplest things:
Another example:
Today I want to manifest - create - receive......
A 20 Minute walk with a friend or an exercise partner.......
In the Struggle Camp, the inner dialogue goes like this:
"Well, who would want to walk with me, anyway?"
"No one I know likes to go for walks"
"I don't have any exercising buddies in the neighborhood."
"I can't walk outside, its too hot and I don't have a gym membership anymore. There I go failing again. I am a loser."
Now here is what I know you would say.
"Who might be the most open to going for a walk with me? Let me look at my address book. Here is a name." Dial, Call, Put it out there.
Repeat.
"Wow, I didn't reach anyone on the phone. Where could I go where there are other people walking?"
Spend a few moments in thought.
"The Bluffs"
And it's very hot outside.
"Wait until this evening and bring lots of water."
It's SOOOOOO easy.
