Simplify



We all want something. We may want many things. Wanting things can represent change. Change is a good thing. It enables us to look forward to good things, new things, events, time alone to renew or time with family and friends. There’s nothing wrong with wanting these things. However, ‘wanting’ can get overwhelming at times. When this happens, wanting has become a problem. There is a conflict somewhere in your life or those you interact with. To resolve the conflict you must simplify.

What "want" can you forego that will simplify your life? Make that mental shift today.*
Prioritize your ‘wants’. Make a mental note of what comes to mind first…then second, etc. Is a ‘want’ a ‘must have’. Is it a necessity? Is it for the greater good of your life or is it a burden in disguise? All that glitters is not gold. As soon as you understand how the ‘want’ detracts from your highest and best interests, you can address it and change your circumstances of burden. Perhaps the timing of your ‘want’ is just not in the right moment. A delay in timing through your prioritizing may be what is in order or maybe it should be dropped from your agenda. Only you can decide what is needed to ease your mind and conflicts.



A special ’Thank-You’ to Linda for sending the inspirational quote above.
