Here is a quote from Father:
Hard work
was never intended to
obtain, gain, or win the prize.
Here is a quote from our book "A Refinement" that expands on this understanding.
When you believe in hard work, without realizing it, you seek and choose the most difficult way in which your Endeavor can move forward. You welcome the idea that you have to "earn" forward advancement, and thus, cannot allow it to be easy. In so doing, you restrict Father on how He can support your Endeavor.
It is neither fracture, nor disconcerting
when your Heavenly Father you let Be.
In other words, it is ok to allow Father to Bless you and Guide you so as to make your journey as Joyous and smooth as possible. Stop allowing the world to be "in charge" by letting it tell you how to define who your Father Is. Instead, allow Father to be Who He Is, allow Him to do what needs to be done His Way.
Contrary to what the world teaches, it is acceptable and Desirable to expand your awareness of Father Within beyond the limitations of doctrine. It is acceptable and Desirable to allow Him to Express in your Endeavor as He sees fit. It is acceptable and Desirable to allow your Endeavor to proceed as your Father would have, rather than as the world would have. It is acceptable and Desirable for your Endeavor to progress smoothly and easily free of worldly constraints and limitations.
