Is it our Perception, or is it Reality?

Our perception is our reality and this is one of the basic underlying concept of Yin and Yang in the Tao. Light and dark, effortless effort, detachment and great focus.
It is a very intriguing concept, this Wu Wei, that almost exactly correlates with being present minded, in that one flows, acts, and accepts continuously without conscious thought. But, the fact that it looks effortless in practice has no relation to the amount of effort a practitioner has to expend to get to the point of making it look easy:-)
Great effort certainly, anxieties...not so much perhaps to achieve Wu Wei. We create our lives and if we need anxieties to prod us along (or believe that we do) that is what we will have in our life. If we fully accept our creative powers, we can pass straight to the enlightened phase of Wu Wei. Complete acceptance of ourselves and our path, as it really exists, is perhaps the hardest thing in this life to master for the average person.... so yes, great effort to become effortless:-)

What do we choose to perceive is the question: Effort..., or effortlessness?
