Addicted to Struggle

So many people are addicted to struggle. We have buried stories that are often outside of our awareness. Stories like:

• It cannot be easy.
• It is pleasing to God when I struggle.
• Struggle is noble.
• I’m bad / need to be punished and so I deserve to struggle.
• Struggling will prove that I’m worthy.
• Hard work is the way to earn success and therefore struggle is required.
• My parents struggled so who am I to do better than them.
• Life is struggle.

What if these are all lies? What if struggle truly is optional?

Be on the lookout for your addiction to struggle. When you notice it, ponder whether you really do need to struggle, what value the struggle provides, and what if it can be easy.

Much Love,
