Following Simplicity

I am working on several new projects and I am having trouble organizing my time effectively. There are times I feel I have too many things going at once and I am being counterproductive. At this point I am not quite sure how to fix it. Here is something that I came across that talks about simplifying your life.

Happiness follows simplicity.
Irish Proverb

Many of us can remember a time in our childhood when we were walking with an adult and our legs were tired with trying to keep up with the grownup pace. “Slow down,” we might have said. In our fast paced lives as adults, we would do well to heed the child’s request–to slow down. Maybe our hurry isn’t as necessary as we’ve thought. Maybe it’s a habit from the days when to slow down–when to stand or sit still–meant finding out what we were thinking about, what we were planning to do, what our feelings were. We couldn’t afford to know that then. Our live were filled with pain; to acknowledge the truth about ourselves or our situation might have jeopardized our survival.

Today, though there are thing we want to see, things we want to feel. Our recovery depends on it. Besides, we no longer need busy-ness as a shield. In slowing down our lives, we simplify them, and we can enjoy the beauty of our recovery. We look at life through clearer eyes, and there is so much to see!

Today help me slow down my life. Help me to be happy and enjoy the simple beauty of rainbows and bluebirds and sobriety.

    Hi

    I agree with your post.
    We spend so much time rushing from one thing to another that we do not take the time to appreciate what we have achieved or what we have accomplished
    “Happiness follows simplicity”.
    So true

    Even in most complicated designs and situations, there is nothing better than simplicity which can explain your insight and thoughts. I personally love many designs which are very simple and straight.

    I agree with your point, being simple is being perfect. Others like to complicate their own lives just to find happiness not knowing that its just sitting around the corner.
