There is a way we can do things or complete an action without any effort, which is what I call being effortless. Although it might sound similar to taking things easy, it is not. It is a profound art that one person has to dedicate his time to learn. The major ingredient of this recipe is consistency. Remember being zoned out while driving and made it to the destination.
The way of being effortless is perseverance. A person has to maintain his momentum at what he is doing for a long period of time. The only way to be effortless at something a person pursues is dedication, mindset, and focus. The more focused an individual is, the closer he is to being effortless in that particular art. The bridge between his present condition and his future goal is his effort itself.
Every art starts with a point—let’s call it a foundation point. Here one should learn about how things are going to work step by step. In mastering the art, one has to go through basic principles, learnings, boredom, hesitations, and setbacks. For instance, learning to write something is an art, but the art in being effortless at writing is what we are talking about.
Maybe there is a threshold in any skill or art a man is pursuing. It is dedication-specific; for instance, it takes 100 hours to learn driving for an ordinary man, and to be effortless in this skill is to invest 100 hours. However, in order to learn to swim, an ordinary person takes approximately 30 hours. In order to be effortless, one has to invest those hours. In other words, being effortless is the middle way of mastering any art or skill.
The human mind familiarizes itself with things only after repetition. Although a person might know the way to be somewhere, he has to start walking to get there. The walking part here is repetition. This is how our mind has evolved. It needs repetition, and once it develops those neural connections & muscle memories , there is no way a person cannot be effortless.
The best aftereffect of this art in itself will be something greater than the art a person pursues. Once one finds himself in the effortless state, his mind works calm and easy where his confidence hits the pinnacle, doubts migrate to another city far-far away. He doesn’t even have to try it just happens.
