Life is full of complications, dilemmas, choices, obstacles, roadblocks, unknowns, cross-roads, etc. It is often overwhelming when you think about exactly how complex we make our lives!
There are only 24 hours in a day yet we manage to easily fill up each day with activities, meetings, events, tasks, chores, responsibilities, etc!
Sometimes it seems there is no end in sight and we can sometimes feel the pressure of the life we have created bearing down on us so hard it takes your breath away!!
What can be done??
It comes down to a choice we all can make and control -- a choice to SIMPLIFY our lives!
Get back to the basics and remember what it is that makes you happy!!
Do not continue to add layers of complexities, drama and unnecessary things to your life.
Narrow down what it is you WANT in your life and FOCUS all of your attention to that single desire.
Put aside all else that distracts you from your goal and keep things simple.
Write it down - meditate on it - pray for guidance on it and pursue it!
If you can scale back all else except for this singular focus and purpose, it is amazing how simple your life suddenly appears to you!
You don't have to become a monk or a recluse, just focus your mind on exactly what it is that you want from your life and go after it fully.
It takes some practice but it is achievable!!
Life does not have to be so hard all of the time! Get past your fears and remember what it is you are here on this earth to do!
The Beatles summed it up nicely for all of us... "All you need is................"?????
LOVE - correct!! :)
Love and kindness is all the matters!
Try it and work at it .... You will be glad you did!
Stay Strong!!

The Decision for God
Do you really believe you can make a voice that can drown out God's? Do you really believe you can devise a thought system that can separate you from Him?
Do you really believe you can plan for your safety and Joy better than He can? You need be neither careful or careless; you need merely cast your cares upon Him because he careth for you.
You are His care because he loves you.
His voice reminds you always that all Hope is yours because of His care! You cannot "choose" to escape His care because that is not His Will, but you can choose to accept His care and use the infinite power of his Care for all those He created by it.
Why should you listen to the endless insane calls you think are made upon you, when you can know the Voice of God is in you?
God commended His Spirit to you, and asks that you commend yours to Him. He wills to keep it in perfect peace, because you are of one mind and spirit with Him.
You have not been asked to work out a plan of "salvation" yourself because, as I told you before, the remedy could not be of your making.
Your part is merely to return your thinking to the point in which the error in deciding was made, and give it over to God in peace.
Say this to yourself as sincerely as you can, remembering the Holy Spirit will respond FULLY to YOUR SLIGHTEST INVITATION:
"I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at Peace.
I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.
I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at Peace.
I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.
I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me."
