“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” ― Confucius

 The thought for today is SIMPLICITY.  To simplify is to invite peacefulness into your life.   When you have lots of “stuff” in tour life, it is hard to be peaceful.  Close your eyes and ask “How can I simplify my life, what can I let go of?”  Letting go of possessions is much more than releasing attachment, control and false fulfillment, it cultivates a deeper relationship to what is important to your life.  It fosters peace within you because you can accept the present moment as a gift.  By simplifying your life, dropping less important activities and “things”, you allow more time for what matters most.

A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person.   For me, it means eliminating all but the essential, eschewing chaos for peace, and spending your time doing what’s important to you.

There are really only two steps to simplifying:

 Identify what’s most important to you.

 Eliminate everything else.

Think About It

 What areas of your life seem complicated?

Take Action

 Today, do one thing for the sake of simplicity in your life.

Major Do:  Calm down, relax, soften up, get natural, be closer to You.

Major Don’t:  Quit trying to find yourself through stuff.  Begin, instead, to allow yourself.  A grand life is your right.  You are your life; therefore you are your right.

Words to Live By:  “Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.  I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.” ― Langston Hughes.  T
