Simplicity

Maybe it’s just our female nature but many of us including myself make things so complicated that it’s hard to undo all the ties. I know life can be tough and it can bring many challenges. With it complexity life also can be simple and easy. I have noticed how easy my days are when I don’t worry, when I take one project at the time and when I simply don’t answer the phone and when I choose when to sit down in front of my computer. It took a while to train my body not to jump every time the phone rang or to walk towards my beloved laptop every morning. Maybe it’s a client, maybe it’s my best friend, maybe I will miss something if I don’t answer phone or check my email. The phone as well as many wonderful electronic toys in our live are here to serve us not to control our behavior and not to make ourselves dependent on them.

Today life is simple, I smelled the fresh cut grass, I didn’t worry about the big workshop coming up, I played with my daughter on the floor, I made butterflies and stars from paper, I am going for a run now. I will answer all my calls in just few hours, there is nowhere to rush. Life is an experience. Create your own. Don’t let anyone do it for you.

That is so true. Must learn to train myself to avoid the laptop and to do things on my own time. I seriously have four projects going at one time, and I need to learn how to finish one project before starting a new one. Thanks for sharing. :)
