Simplicity – Life used to be so simple

We say it every day ‘Life used to be so simple’. I look back not too long ago (2-3 years) and I think to myself - ‘Life was so simple back then’. As every day becomes past and future becomes present, I seek new challenges and gain new experiences. It seems like life is getting busier. Every day seems smaller and I never find time to do everything I want to do and yet I find the time to do everything I need to do. Is my life simple?

It is so hard to define simplicity. I think all it means is to embrace today. Embrace the life you are living right now and never have to look back to wish ‘I could have been happier those days’.

There is no wrong in a desire to achieve more, and set higher goals. I do that every day. But simplicity to me means being content, and knowing and believing in myself.

I have been through rollercoaster of personal, family, love, and professional life drama. There were times when everything was set at extremes, and there were times when I felt boxed in. I was recently in a situation where my personal life felt like a burden on my professional life. How could life be so complex? I asked myself.

I know sacrifices, I have done sacrifices. I know patience; I have lived through patience my whole life where I am anxiously but patiently waiting for things to happen. How did I miss those simple times between the sacrifices and patience? How come in a blink of an eye that simple life seems like a memory of past?

Now, I sit here to accept today as ‘Simple’. No matter what comes and how busy or crazy life gets. I have to believe that my Life will always change for the better. I have a wonderful hubby, two cute pets (a Yellow lab and a Siamese cat), one sweet baby boy, a nice house, and an awesome job. I thank GOD for the beautiful and loving family, and a desired career.

Today I wish to never have to remorse for not enjoying the simple times that passed by in Yesterday.

How can you make your life simple today?
