Magic Made Easy

I think everyone would prefer that the difficult, as well as complicated, tasks and chores we face every day, were made easier and simpler to accomplish. Instead, it seems, without outside help, we make these tasks that we believe to be exceedingly hard to do, actually become hard to do. It's all in our heads (mind). There's the old proverb (saying), Be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it. And that works for beliefs as well as wishes. If we don't believe we are able to do something, we aren't. It's that simple.
Our minds are capable of performing magic. All it takes is belief. So, let's say you want to learn English, or even Mandarin, for that matter. Does it seem almost impossible? Oh, yeah. But it's not. All you, or I, have to do is believe we can, and hocus pocus! Presto! We can. Of course, we do have to put in the time to accomplish this, but because we believe we can do it, we have made it easier. We can achieve the impossible, if we believe we can.
So, life being short, and all, why make anything more difficult than it has to be. Make it as simple and easy as possible. Be a magician. Believe. That's what I'm working on. In case you don't realize it, I'm writing this more for me than anyone else. There are many occasions when I allow myself to become overwhelmed by all I have to do, and all I want to do. That's when I tend to make life more difficult for myself, and sometimes for those around me. So, I am trying to change my thinking. I want to do some positively, amazingly magnificent magic. And that's just for starters. Life IS short. Make the most of it. Grab the bull by the horns (an expression, similar to Seize the Day), and see what you can do. That's my plan. Who knows? Maybe after Edgar and I are living on our own island, you can come and visit. Hope to see you there.
