We are always concerned with two things - growth and ease. We want to grow. And we want our growth to happen with ease.
Growth or possibilities happen when we take risks. We need to push that little extra each time and improve our risk appetite. Talk one sentence more, ask one question extra, buy that thing you never bought, stop, go. Everything that you did not do earlier is a risk. Only when we risk do we grow. Yes, 'we'll fail a few times but we will have fun doing that.
Ease happens when we let go of control. Funnily we don't take risks because we want to control everything. We want to control the outcome and if we are not sure of the outcome we do not risk it. Ease is that state when things happen almost divinely without our having to do anything. People appear, opportunities fall into your lap, things happen easily. Now all that happens only when you fully let go of control.
Which means - we have to take risks and not be attached to the outcome. After the initial fear during which you lose a few, things start showing up with ease when you really let go, fully let go. What do we let go? We let go of attachment to the outcome fully. Just act and forget about it.
That's the secret then.
