Simplify your Life and Find Joy

Life is full of complications, dilemmas, choices, obstacles, roadblocks, unknowns, cross-roads, etc. It is often overwhelming when you think about exactly how complex we make our lives!



There are only 24 hours in a day yet we manage to easily fill up each day with activities, meetings, events, tasks, chores, responsibilities, etc!



Sometimes it seems there is no end in sight and we can sometimes feel the pressure of the life we have created bearing down on us so hard it takes your breath away!!



What can be done??



It comes down to a choice we all can make and control -- a choice to SIMPLIFY our lives!



Get back to the basics and remember what it is that makes you happy!!



Do not continue to add layers of complexities, drama and unnecessary things to your life.



Narrow down what it is you WANT in your life and FOCUS all of your attention to that single desire.



Put aside all else that distracts you from your goal and keep things simple.



Write it down - meditate on it - pray for guidance on it and pursue it!



If you can scale back all else except for this singular focus and purpose, it is amazing how simple your life suddenly appears to you!



You don't have to become a monk or a recluse, just focus your mind on exactly what it is that you want from your life and go after it fully.



It takes some practice but it is achievable!!



Life does not have to be so hard all of the time! Get past your fears and remember what it is you are here on this earth to do!



The Beatles summed it up nicely for all of us... "All you need is................"?????



LOVE - correct!! :)



Love and kindness is all the matters!



Try it and work at it .... You will be glad you did!



Stay Strong!!
