About

What is Effortless Abundance?

EffortlessAbundance.com is a community of writers contributing content to help you thrive.

Effortless Abundance is an expression of the best way to live. It is life lived without struggle, working with the natural grain of the situation you are in to experience the best results. It is about accepting life on its own terms, giving up struggle and accepting that you have less control than you might imagine. To let go is to reframe our thinking, to release suffering and to experience life as it is, without judgement or expectation. It is about dealing with difficult and challenging situations skillfully and productively, and experiencing the kind of life you truly desire.

The ideas on this site explore what the philosopher Alan Watts called the Watercourse Way, the wisdom embodied in the Tao Te Ching.

The articles contain discussions and practical advice on experiencing greater happiness, wealth and health, developing good relationships and communication with others, and finding peace, poise and confidence.

All the articles reflect the view that life has no transcendent meaning or purpose, any more than a dance or a symphony has a purpose, except for the sheer joy of the experience, and that abundance is a natural and normal condition.

Above all, the site exists to help you thrive, whatever ‘thriving’ means to you.

 

The inspiration

Many years ago, I came across Anthony de Mello’s wonderful book, Awareness. I have often turned to this book for inspiration and guidance. I would go as far as to say that this book was life changing.

But one story stays always in my mind. It is a wonderful parable. Indeed, it is the essence of all that I believe.

A man found an eagle’s egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air.

Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat on his strong golden wings. The old eagle looked up in awe. “Who’s that?” he asked. “That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” said his neighbour. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth – we’re chickens.” So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.
