Mindful Effort

Whatever we chase, it's not worth it
From whatever we run away, it's needed

Whatever comes to us easily is our weakness
Whatever takes mindful effort is our strength

Whatever is pleasurable to us is our addiction
Whatever bothers us is our teacher

Whatever makes us feel good is our bondage
Whatever brings us peace is our freedom

Whatever we believe is a trap
Whatever we afraid to face is the path

"Easy to do are things that are bad and harmful to oneself. But exceedingly difficult to do are things that are good and beneficial."
— Buddha
