Ever felt that life dealt you so much that it was too complicated to handle? There’s the new project at work that you just got handed to add to the myriad of others things that you have to handle. Your spouse wants you to help plan that vacation you’ve been putting off talking about. The kids have to get to their five different activities during the course of the week. The new puppy needs to go to get its injection. And you just missed the credit card payment date. Not to mention the fact that your parents-in-law are coming to stay next week.

Whatever your own story, it does seem that life gets to feel overwhelming and complicated. Odd, when I hear so many people tell me that they would like a simple life.

Maybe there are some practical things we can do to change the exte
al activities that we become engaged in. What would you do in the circumstances above? Tell your boss you can’t manage? Resign? Sell the puppy? Tell the kids to get on with their life?

The amazing discovery I made is that when I let go of trying to control all this stuff, and trusted that everything will work out fine, and that I could just relax with that, things still happened, everything seemed a lot simpler, and life a lot more fulfilled. After all, I’m still here, even if I did get a few things wrong or dropped something along the way.

Have you ever noticed that the most effective leaders, or that the best soccer teams (if you are watching the World Cup) are the ones who seem to take things easily and make it simple? There’s a lesson there somewhere. Life is simple, as long as we work at it!

In Peace and Love
