We believe as much as we can. We would believe everything if we could.

Decide to enjoy

Even the most difficult work feels easy when you let it flow from your heart. You can take on the most complicated and challenging tasks with effortless ease when you let go of your resistance to them.

Do you feel resentment about what you must do? If so, you’re only making it more difficult and unpleasant.

Can you choose instead to feel sincere gratitude for the opportunity to get it done? Of course you can, and by so doing you dramatically improve your performance.

If the effort feels disagreeable, that’s only because you want it to feel disagreeable. And why exactly would you want that?

Resentment and resistance will only bring you down, and cause you to work longer at doing what you don’t want to do. Yet it is always within your power to make a positive change.

Decide to enjoy what you’re doing, and just like magic you’ll suddenly be doing what you enjoy. Not only that, you’ll be doing a much better job of it.

— Ralph Marston
