I don't get that life has to be hard, that we are conditioned to think it is easy.

And thinking that “there's a price to pay” kept me in a damaging marriage for far too long because I thought my unhappiness was the price I had to pay to give my children the financial advantages of his wealth, at least till they got through school.

It quite shook my up when my daughter said how angry she was that I did not leave much sooner!

I prefer to think “I am a worthy being that source adores” and to view pain as an indication that somehow I am off track.

And thinking that there must be a price to pay, a pain to be endured, has held me back when on the brink of something good happening, especially if it is happening apparently without “pain”, because I'm scared of what the “pain” might be.

I agree with it, but don't always live by it. Many times I take the road most travelled and do what I can to duck the pain. This has actually caused me more pain in the long run, but I then do what I can to duck that pain, too. At some point, I am going to switch roads. And that point needs to happen sooner than later. I look forward to the weakness leaving my body.<br><br>Thank you! Love that opening to “The Road Less Travelled” I've thought of it often. I agree with it, but don't always live by it.

It is INCREDIBLY empowering to realize this truth.

I also have found myself somehow expecting things to be easy *one day*, and realizing that I still have a bit of that victim mindset as well. It's powerful to see it and acknowledge it, though! As I read the post today I felt this uprising of determination and hope, power to push through the obstacles I'm facing right now and move on to the next step! :) The truth will set you FREEEE!!!! :) Audrey, I am with you on that one!
