The Power Of Being 'Effortless'

red flower

There is a rose bushel in the garden outside my house. This morning, I am getting ready for my daily walk. While I am trying to put on my shoes, I notice a small rose bud coming out of it.

It is a grafted breed, a combination of yellow and red. The tiny petals sneak out of the bud with a smile of hope.

The next day, I am off for the routine runs again, and I notice, this time, the bud has sprouted open. More petals are visible now, and the distinct shades of red and yellow are visible. This flower is going to bloom into something beautiful.

Day-3, now I am super excited and waiting for the morning, to see how it evolved overnight. All through the process, I find, it is so "not-struggling". There is a 'flow' in the pattern. The change is not a forceful one, yet, it is remarkably quick.

Day-4, and the rose bud is now fully blossomed into a beautiful flower. The bud walked through the nature's resistance yet, nothing was ever visible.

Now, the rose smells ecstatic, and I walk past it, I can feel the fragrance it spreads in the air. Now, I know the real effort was within and not without.

The real growth, turmoil, change, transformation was happening inside the bud, and not outside. When the transformation is from within, it is "Effortless".

From the day we start our lives to the time we reach our deathbed, there are so many instances when we get a No in our lives. So much so, that we ourselves start believing that the actually the answer to our an question in life is a No. But does a No really mean the end of a dark tunnel? Or there is some way we can make it a Yes. NO has several meanings. NO does not mean life is over. NO does not mean end of hope. It might simply mean Not Now. It might simply mean you are not worthy of it yet! Or it might mean that you have not failed enough to succeed it. Sometimes, No can be a new beginning - A 'New Opportunity'.    Sometimes, No can be a delay to something bigger. It means you do not deserve to get something this small that you are aiming for right now! Universe has bigger plans for you. There are infinite stones in the way of ...
