Some of us are suspicious of things that come too easy. I think because somewhere in our history we’ve convinced ourselves that we don’t deserve easy. And if we deserve anything at all, we deserve to struggle to have it.
What in our history could possibly have that kind of influence over us? Our family of origin. Who our parents were, how they were raised, where and when they were raised affected in a fundamental way, how they would parent us.
It’s in our family of origin that we form the beliefs about what we deserve -- a life that is effortless or one filled with struggle. This isn’t about placing blame on our parents. It’s about taking responsibility as adults to stop living within the dysfunction of our childhood and choosing effortlessness for our lives.
