Using Force Isn’t Always The Way
“The least strained and most natural ways of the soul are the most beautiful; the best occupations are the least forced.” – Montaigne
Whether It’s:
A strong desire to work for a particular company
A strong desire to be friends with someone
A strong desire to be in a relationship with someone
A strong desire to be accepted
A strong desire to communicate with someone
A strong desire to be loved
A strong desire to be seen
A strong desire to be remembered
A strong desire to earn more money
A strong desire for something or someone else to change
If you have to strain yourself and use unnecessary force to make something happen, it’s often not worth it or meant to be. Furthermore, you will often find trouble and stress attached to anything or anyone that comes to your life with force.
Straining to make things go your way sucks.
Seek things, people, and opportunities that are the least forced. It doesn’t mean it will be easy or smooth sailing when you embark upon these endeavors, but it will be a natural, peaceful, and more eloquent integration into your life.
