Have you ever had the experience that no matter how hard you work at something, you just don't seem to move the needle?

Maybe you're trying to have a breakthrough with work or school. Or striving to get to the next level with your art or sport. Maybe it's a block that simply feels insurmountable.

We've all been there - so rest assured, you are not alone.

The question is, what will help you finally have the breakthrough?

On a call recently, I heard Robert Holden talk about this.

He pointed out that it is often the area of our life where we are working the hardest that we seem to be having the least success!

And then he suggested that perhaps this is because we are substituting our hard work for grace.

In other words, we are thinking we have to do this (insert problem here) alone.

Instead, could we ask for help? Invite love in? Ask Infinite Intelligence to lend a hand?

I've been thinking a lot about this for the past few weeks, and what I've noticed is that the more I obsess over something and kinda get neurotic about it, the worse it seems to get.

But, when I just let it go, which does not mean doing nothing, things naturally shift.

So what do you say, willing to try it?

Honestly, what have you got to lose?

Whatever your issue is - a health challenge, love interest, work issue - can you ask for help from the Universe/God/Source? Can you ask Love to guide you and show you another way?

What are the words for you?

Sometimes it helps to first acknowledge where you are right now.

Something like:

"I'm really struggling with ________ and I know it makes me frustrated and upset. And I also know that there is another way to see this and experience it. (Love/Source/God...), can you please help me see/experience this differently?

Give it a try and see how life shifts.

I'm excited to hear your results!

The more we can let life love us, the more love we have in our lives.
