The Law of Least Effort

The law of least effort

means that the maximum outcome presents itself

when the least amount of thought is put into finding it.

This law defies everything we are taught in society.

We are taught to always be productive, active, constantly doing something

because those who work the hardest and/or are the most efficient

will supposedly be the most “successful.”

But when I practice not thinking, doing, or even trying to make something happen,

I find the most joy.

Because I have no expectations for the outcome.

I have so much more time for wonder, love, and whatever else the universe wants to give me.

It’s a practice, the only practice,

where the absence of the practice

is the practice itself.

And the closer to zero we are

the more bountiful the outcome.

Beauty replaces success

when trust replaces effort.
