EP 252: What If It Could Be Easy

The Bridge to Fulfillment

Does everything about your life feel complicated?

If the answer is yes, then you’re not alone. In our society, we’ve turned complexity into a type of social currency that’s rewarded.

Work hard! Overcome obstacles! Do the impossible!

But what if all of this difficulty and complexity could be washed away? What if the struggle wasn’t necessary to achieve your goals?

What if life could just be easy?

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake poses this very question, asking you to apply it to your life. It’s possible that the hills you have to climb to get where you want to be have easier routes than the ones you’re taking.

In this episode, you’ll learn why we’re conditioned to think that taking the hard road is the only path to success. You’ll discover how to make your life simpler by asking yourself how you can create more ease and setting yourself up for it from the start. You’ll learn how to overcome complexity and embrace simplicity in order to pave a smoother path to success.

3. The answers are almost always simple. And the more complicated it is, the less likely it will be that we actually accomplish what we want. –Blake Schofield
