The simpler we keep things, the more manageable they are.
However we have a tendency to complicate matters, partly because we are not
fully informed and partly because modern technology has led to a mechanical,
fast paced lifestyle. We have become like machines, and thus lead an automatic,
monotonous life. We react to things in a fixed manner. There is no enthusiasm
in our lives. It is an endless, boring path. We need to get out of this rut,
garner more knowledge in order to grow and evolve. We have to organize our
lives and proceed in a way that is conducive to growth and development.
Learning should start from childhood, from the elementary
level – not when we are adults and have started working. We all strive for
happiness, all our lives. But many of us feel we are not happy once we are
grown up. If we are not happy we are definitely not doing the right things. Why
does this happen?
When
the pressures on us get too much
We are unhappy when the pressures on us get too much,
when we have too much to do and not enough time to do it in, when we take on
something that may look too difficult or beyond our capability. All this
increases our levels of tension and anxiety. At such times, we need to take a
step back, we need to learn to analyze the situation, take steps to resolve it
and then move ahead. We have to take things easy – one step at a time.
We are the masters of our destiny – we control our lives.
So if we have faith and accept our circumstances we will get past the
negatives. If we forgive the wrongs of others we liberate ourselves. Keep
things simple, even relationships.
A simple life brings clarity – be truthful and look for
the bigger picture. Avoid the niggling little negatives. This will set you free
to live by your principles and live in hope. Be open to new experiences and
challenges, surround yourself with people with positive attitude who encourage
and motivate and nurture you, don’t over analyze, have faith in yourself and
you will be happy and free of stress.
