Do you think that you can change without effort?
Well, the answer is yes and no.
Sometimes the effort is to keep one's mouth shut, and be patient.
Purification is happening. It is a passive effort.
Sometimes, you have to be the one who volunteers to do the dishes
at the end of dinner when no one else wants to.
It has been said, that we fall in love when we are apart.
The time you make an effort, lets say, to take care of someone's cat while they are away,
may be the most rewarding effort of all, breaking a pattern when it is
so easy to say "NO", instead, you act positively, give of yourself,
and something good will come.
Mr. Gurdjieff said, the energy of a conscious effort is rewarded sometime
in the future.
