Life Is Not Always an Uphill Battle
May 31, 2025
We hear it all the time that life is an uphill battle, and that anything worth having is worth the fight, or that we must struggle and sacrifice for whatever it is we are working towards. But just take a minute to look at those words. Battle, fight, struggle and sacrifice. Sounds like an awful way to live doesn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be part of any fight, and I surely won’t be sacrificing myself in order to get something in return. That’s because I’m a little wiser now and I’ve since woken up to the fact that the greatest gifts in life are freely given to you. That’s right, they are freely given. Love, abundance, creative ideas, these words that I am writing on the page just freely come to me and I don’t need to fight, battle, suffer or sacrifice myself in order for them to come to me. I simply need to show up and show up on time. If you were to follow me years ago, I would have told you otherwise. No pain, no gain – and to some degree that is true. You will have to go through a lot of pain in your life to come to the realization that going through life in pain or suffering simply is no way to live and that there must be an easier way. Fight and battle insinuates that the journey won’t be pleasurable and that you have some opponent you need to conquer. Well, the only opponent you will ever truly need to overcome is yourself and your own ego. Your ego leads you believe that everything needs to be complicated and that you’re not where you want to be and that you must push hard, sacrifice, try harder and make things happen which simply isn’t the case when living a spiritual and peaceful life. Pushing harder, sacrificing and trying harder only insinuates that you are not where you want to be and that frequency will always keep what you truly want at a distance, and yes that trek could be an exhausting, uphill battle. But when you trust, relax, and do your part and then let it go it’s more of a downhill easy ride to making your dreams come to life. It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s exciting and it’s easy and it’s like moving from one great thing to the next. Moving from glory to glory instead of trekking up mountain tops. The other cool thing is that you could be at the bottom of the hill and still have the most breathtaking view. It’s all on how you decide to look at it. I don’t know about you, but anytime I parched myself high on a mountain top, it was a lot of work to get up there, it was scary, and sure the view was beautiful at the top but honestly, I couldn’t wait to come down to where it felt a little safer. So where am I going with this? Well if your life always seems to be a struggle or an uphill battle then the wisest thing to do would be to stop climbing, to stop struggling, and to stop believing that it needs to be hard. What if you decided to sit for a while – oh but for many that’s way too hard. Climbing, striving, and staying busy is much easier. But the truth is the hard is what makes the journey so much easier. The other thing is there is a difference between fighting for yourself and standing up for yourself. Fighting requires a lot of negativity, movement, and exertion of energy. Standing up for yourself only requires you to stand and hold your position and that’s a whole other level of awesomeness. No fighting and proving yourself to anyone. When you know who you are and you know your own worth, you just get up and stand there looking fabulous as hell. Those not meant for you will naturally fall away without you having to lift a finger.
