Joel and I sometime have a talk about "effortless."
How is the state of living effortlessly? Effortless doesn't mean that we don't make any effort at all. If we do something we are really interested in or are inspired about, we don't feel we are making any effort. We just do it. On the other hand, when we have to make efforts to do something that we don't really want to do or are not very interested in, we really need to push ourselves to complete the task. In that case, it does involve focused effort.
An effortless life doesn't mean a lazy life; but rather, it is the ideal way of living in harmony and peace.
Because we are stuck in so much conditioning, such as social norms and cultural expectations, as well as fear and anxiety about various things, it is very difficult to choose an effortless life. Our ego becomes invested in these thing.
