Right Effort

“Right effort is the art of balancing energies.” 
  
What exactly is effort? What should we be putting effort towards? What energies should we pursue? Where do we lack right effort? How does this affect others? 
  
Effort is the concept of dedicating your time and energy to a subject to create a specific outcome. It is the actions we perform in our daily lives that determine the energy that is sent out in the world. 
  
“Your thoughts and feelings make your future.” 
  
Every action results in a reaction. We may not see that reaction with our own eyes but it has to have an effect somewhere else. Every thought, every phrase constructs the way you feel about yourself and your life. 
  
“He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right.” 
  
Our minds are more powerful than we think. Our thoughts are connected to our actions and perspective, which ultimately create our reality. 
 
What reality will you create?
