What You Value, You Are ASKING For
In order to break yourself of the habit of hard work, you’ll have to stop valuing it as highly as you do.
You measure a lot of your achievements by how HARD they were to get - not by the achievement itself.
What does that say about a miracle? What does that say when someone just gives you something out of the kindness of their heart?
Easy things don’t get valued highly by you, because they didn’t come with all that valiant struggle. When a good man loves you without struggle, what do you do?? Find him dull.
You have to stop praising valiant struggle.
Stop looking back in your life and giving yourself so much credit for the mountain that you climbed, uphill, both ways in the snow. Rather, you might want to ask, if you looked around to see if a helicopter was available.
What you praise, you attract.
What you praise, you prefer.
What you praise, you demand.
Be very careful that you’re praising unnecessary hard work.
Today I was doing some hard work, because I found a mess that kept expanding and I had to fix it and I didn’t want to. I was struggling.
And I viewed it as suspicious. The real reason I was struggling is because of my unspoken feelings about someone letting me down - not the work.
In the past, I simply would’ve pulled on my “I’m a bad ass hat” and dug in. In my current life, I stopped and questioned how I had attracted this situation and what I needed to do to NOT get it again.
My hard work was suspicious!
I saw my lesson and I know the project will get magnitudes easier now.
My lesson was to share my discomfort, knowing it would hurt another. (Always taking punches for weaker friends does not make them stronger.) Done.
