Get the buttons here!Eric Zimmer on Embracing the Effort: Why Life Never Gets Easy
It's easy to fall off these things and not do them, and it takes the effort to keep moving. But I found, once I accept that as a premise, that there isn't any one thing that's going to happen, that I'm going to continue to put out effort in my life, then I'm a lot more at peace with it and I'm a lot more realistic about what to expect and what not to expect.
Ever caught yourself dreaming of a day when life just falls into place without any effort? In this thought-provoking mini episode reissue of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer shatters that fantasy. Drawing from his own experiences and the wisdom he's gathered, Eric dives into the misconception that life will one day become effortless. He argues that it's this unrealistic expectation that often leads us to overlook what truly works and chase after quick fixes instead.
Using the analogy of physical fitness, Eric explains that just as there's no magical exercise or diet to keep us in shape forever, our mental and emotional well-being also requires consistent effort. He touches on the concept of enlightenment, suggesting it might not be a permanent state but rather something we drift in and out of based on our dedication to spiritual practice at any given moment.
But here's the silver lining: Eric believes that the need for ongoing effort is actually good news. It means there's always something we can do to better our lives. He wraps up with a powerful reminder: 'It doesn't get easier, you get stronger'. This episode is a candid and motivating call to embrace the effort required for a fulfilling life.
