Simplicity

Simplicity is something that everyone says they want in life. They don't want the drama, the heart ache, the turmoil. They want a simple life that is free of all the aforementioned negative things. However, we fear simplicity; I fear simplicity. I over think everything! If I don't over think it, I feel like I'm missing something. Simplicity is something that Albert Einstein wanted and discussed many times. Still, I over think everything, I don't give the benefit of the doubt because my mind will tell me I'm wrong; there has to be something more. I am like the Pharisees in John 9 when they continued to question the blind man who just knew his story. I question and question, but the answers are never enough. I still want to know more; I still don't believe what others say.

The simplicity I want in my life will only come about when I de-clutter my life from the drama and turmoil that I put myself in. No one can make me feel inferior without my consent just like no one can make me feel bad about myself unless I let them. I need to not worry about my fears are - failure, being disliked, not knowing, etc.- and truly live to be simple. Simplicity, as long as you don't make it simpler than it is, is the best way to live your life. You wont find the ulterior motives of others that you think they have. You will find that you will live a happier life without the stress, drama, and heart ache that you cause your self due to a distrust of, not others, but of yourself.
