Mindful Effort

Whatever we chase, it's not worth it

From whatever we run away, it's needed

Whatever comes to us easily is our weakness

Whatever takes mindful effort is our strength

Whatever is pleasurable to us is our addiction

Whatever bothers us is our teacher

Whatever makes us feel good is our bondage

Whatever brings us peace is our freedom

Whatever we believe is a trap

Whatever we afraid to face is the path

*****

Whatever you chase, it's not worth it

From whatever you run away, it's needed

Whatever comes to you easily is your weakness

Whatever takes mindful effort is your strength

Whatever is pleasurable to you is your addiction

Whatever bothers you is your teacher

Whatever makes you feel good is your bondage

Whatever brings you peace is your freedom

Whatever you believe is a trap

Whatever you afraid to face is the path

Whatever I chase, it's not worth it

From whatever I run away, it's needed

Whatever comes to me easily is my weakness

Whatever takes mindful effort is my strength

Whatever is pleasurable to me is my addiction

Whatever bothers me is my teacher

Whatever makes me feel good is my bondage

Whatever brings me peace is my freedom

Whatever I believe is a trap

Whatever I afraid to face is the path
