Will Doesn't Have to Be Struggle

Dr Tae Yun Kim is a martial artist, an author, a speaker and much more. Here is an excerpt from her book, The Silent Master.

How much time we waste in fretting over our mistakes! All this does is keep us dwelling on the past, and this brings the unwanted past into the present.

How important it is, then, when you're ready to pursue your Silent Master consciousness, to let go of your mistakes, and use your will to focus on a new direction. Look at your mistakes, see what you learned, but then let them go.

Will Doesn't Have to Be Struggle

You may have to persist when you are trying to hold onto an idea or a goal you wish to manifest. But persistence doesn't necessarily involve a struggle. The exercise of will should be a calm, persistent focus that doesn't allow a feeling of resistance. The exercise of will should not have to be a battle.

If you feel a struggle when you exert your will, there may be old habits or false beliefs that you need to let go of. The sense of struggling to hold an idea is a signal to you that you are simultaneously holding an equal, opposite idea about what you want to manifest and that's why you feel the struggle. When the energy of two equal and opposing ideas are given the same attention, you will naturally feel a conflict.
