The Law of Least Effort

The Law of Least Effort

The path to fulfillment doesn’t need to be so difficult! Try these three liberating steps to a happier and more abundant life by taking the path of least effort:

1. Accept people, circumstances, and events as they are in this moment. When confronted with any challenge, remind yourself, “This moment is as it should be,” because the entire universe is as it should be.

2. Take responsibility for your situation without blaming anything or anyone, including yourself. Every problem is an opportunity to take this moment and transform it into greater benefit.

3. Be un-defended. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view. In defenselessness, you remain open to all points of view, not rigidly attached to one of them.

No where in this excerpt was Deepak referring to the entire universe being as it should be. (that's why he uses the word 'moment').
I believe he refers to one's immediate surroundings, when something is bothering you; Somethings you would do differently; something is not proceeding fast enough, etc. I see it as taking a deep breath and saying to oneself “This moment is as it should be,”
