What Would This Look Like If It Were Easy?

"What would this look like if it were easy?"
It may seem like an overly simplified question, but that is entirely the point. Far too often, we convince ourselves that things need to be difficult and that if we aren’t in some sort of mental or physical turmoil, then we are doing something wrong or not trying hard enough. As a result, we can sometimes actively seek out the path of most resistance and intentionally make things more complicated than they need to be.
Quite often though, we are able to solve problems simply by rewording them. As psychologist and author Dr. Wayne Dyer observes, “When you change the way you see things, the things you see change.” It allows you to take a step back and see if there is an easier path that you are missing or avoiding for some reason.
