Effort
We try. We succeed. We try. We fail. Life is an endless and boundless succession of movements, back and forth; a dance that carries us from birth to death. Every movement is an effort, and every effort creates a reaction. This reaction can propel us forward or shut us down. We must always continue with effort, our very atoms are in constant motion, buzzing with an energy that cannot be stilled. Yet when we are shut down, we often choose to let our effort follow the path of least resistance. We let the weight of our disappointment crush us, and we watch the color drain from our world. It is only through effort that we are able to touch the vital heart of the world, to feel the throbbing flow of living energy. Life only has color when we agree to participate, when we make ourselves vulnerable and push to continually create our own lives.
