Struggle easier:

Are you struggling to find a new job?  Well, maybe you should stop struggling.

Many of us were taught that life is a struggle.  We heard adults say silly things like ‘no pain, no gain’ and ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again’.

You might be older now, but are you any wiser?  Look around you.  Nature has many examples showing the success of the easy way.  Like rivers.  Rivers don’t struggle to reach the sea, they simply find the easiest downward path, even if it means going in the ‘wrong’ direction now and then.

If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try and try again.  Fail if you must, then try something else.  Even if you must go in what seems to be the wrong direction.

Above all, don’t program yourself with those silly sayings every time your success isn’t immediate.  Do what nature does - if at first you don’t succeed, try something easier.
