Complex Thinking - Complex Living

The complexity of life itself, its everyday mundane to dos, and the uninvited drama that swoops in, should require simple thinking just for the sake of maintaining sanity. But why is it so difficult to think simply?  I mean really, life does not have to be complex. We get out of life what we put into it. If we make it complicated, it will be complicated. If we think simply about life, then it will be simple. Decisions, situations, relationships CAN be simple. Too much thought? Too much speculation? Too many expectations? That is trouble waiting in the wings. To keep it simple, keep everything honest. Be forthcoming from the start. Ambiguity has no place in the attempt to achieving the simple life. Simplicity is the key to freedom, peace and inner joy. Stop stressing about the things in life that cannot be changed. Why stress about things out of your control? The things you CAN control, analyze if its worth the effort it will take to control the outcome and if the outcome is even within your reach. If not, then let it go, go with the flow, let it roll off your shoulder, whip your hair back and forth and move forward. Shake it off, dry up the sweat and know that the only One that has to be in control and IS in control is watching over you.
