Many people pride themselves that they lead a simple life.
But are they really?
What about you? Do you consider yourself living a simple
life? If you are, then you should be finding things easy and simple. You will
not have much to complain about? Does your simple life conform to this
criterion? If it does, then you are doing well. If it doesn’t, then you need to
work on making your life really simple.
When used with lifestyle, the word ‘simple’ is used in the
sense ‘unostentatious.’ But the word ‘simple’ has got other shades of meaning
like ‘not complicated,’ ’easy to deal with’ etc. You can make your life simple by doing several
small things
- Not getting upset over small things
- Tolerating the mistakes and imperfections of people close to you
- Not cursing yourself for your mistakes and shortcomings
- Believing that things are really simple
The last mentioned line of thinking will make you feel calm
and poised when you face problems. Calmness and poise will come from a feeling
of confidence and faith – confidence in your ability to overcome the problem
and faith in positive outcomes.
People who achieve a lot in life adopt this simple
lifestyle. All it needs is to develop a mindset that you will consider things
to be simple and that things will turn out to be simple.
The legendary Sherlock Holmes while solving a crime often
says, ‘Elementary, Watson!’ Because he considers the process of detection to be
simple, he is able to solve mysteries
considered complex by other people.
You can begin to make your life simple beginning from today.
Believe everything is simple. Learn to take things easy. Cultivate the habit to
be calm and confident. Be gentle and tolerant towards others especially towards
people close to you and people whom you are dealing with.
