what criteria does something need to have to be labeled as “easy”?
what does something need to possess in order to be labeled as “difficult”?
quite frankly, both easy + difficult are subjective + based on one’s perception.
therefore, when you truly think about it, nothing is easy or difficult — everything simply is.
what we label is a message we send to our brains about how to perceive it.
without our labeling system, things in our world would exist without being shifted into categories or labeled with judgement + expectations.
today, ditch the labeling system, reserve the judgement, + simply do the damn thing.
difficult, challenging, easy, or effortless — none of it matters when you are:
1) enjoying yourself throughout the process
+
2) doing what must be done.
when we expect something to be difficult, we approach it much differently than we do something labeled easy + vice versa.
instead of focusing on the words that describe an activity, focus on the activity itself, doing it with intention, care, + passion, + giving your best.
regardless of whether it’s easy or difficult, your best is all that you can give, fam.
+ guess what? your best is enough.
be you, be dope!
