One last thing... after writing this article, I had to buy a ticket for last week. And I won! Free tickets for this week's draw. Which has jackpotted again, and MUST be won... so $30 million up for grabs... who knows? Maybe I'll have a chance to put my plan into action. Wish me luck! KL Cheers Peter!

It is so very true... Thank you for sharing. Hey Vera, Lovely to have you stop by! Great insight into why things become a 'struggle'. I hope your motto is working for you. Would love to hear more about how you make "not working" work in your life... maybe a future post from you? If it is, make sure you link to it in these comments so my readers can find it... Hey Lea, You bring up some great point. We are used to taking our cues for how life should be from outside sources... a holdover from childhood perhaps? How many of us learn to trust out intuition as to what we truly need to be happy? Nothing like going outside on a starry night and looking up at the sky to feel the abundance of the universe! Thank so much for stopping by everybody. Vera & Lea, love your photos too! Blessings, KL Hey Liana,

But society, family and media sources contribute to our perceptions as well, by telling us that we should have this or that kind of life and that we need this or that to have a good life and to be happy. Over the generations, we have lost our contact with nature and a sense of connectedness with one another. I'm hopeful that this is changing, though for any significant evidence of this happening may take some time yet.

Absolutely love and wholeheartedly agree with this post! Very well worded. :-) Serge and I have been focusing on NOT working, and just giving and acting out of our best abilities, for quite a while now. My own experience is that when you are finding something to be a struggle, whether it's a project, a job or a shopping trip, it is only a struggle because you are too attached to a specific outcome and because the action is not in keeping with the divine direction that the universe intends for you to go in. When we cease desiring an outcome and focus on the intention, such as "I need more money so that I can spend more time volunteering." The answer is to start now, by spending more time volunteering. The joy and peace that you are looking for will follow the action, and then the desire for money will no longer be a necessity. My motto has become: "Go with the flow, not against it." Great post! It solidified so much for me! Blessings... Vera Nadine Hi K-L! Absolutely love and wholeheartedly agree with this post!

He said to the poor man, "why aren't you working hard like I do?". The villager replied, "I don't understand - why do you work so hard, every waking hour?". " So I can afford holidays so I can relax like you are ..." replied the rich man walking away in disgust.
