Don't Complicate Things

Don't Complicate Things

The simple, clear answer for life's situations can be easily found in the heart. Don't limit its wisdom to just one or two areas, let it guide you through all of your life.

Are you struggling with finances? Feeling overwhelmed by taxes? Not certain what to do to help someone you love? Do you have a problem with a friend? Has a business relationship gotten sticky, maybe hopelessly adversarial? Are you at war with the person you love? Problems with children? Problems with parents? A landlord who just won't get the job done? All of these areas, and more, can be brought to your heart.

Do you need to find a new hobby? Are you stuck on a project? Do you need an idea, some creative inspiration? Do you need a new place to live, or a way to fix your current home? Take it all back to your heart.

Calm your mind. Let go. Get quiet. You don't have to know the plan. Just put out the question, then listen to your inner voice. It will guide you through any maze you've been lost in.

Don't complicate things or try to figure it all out. The answer is simple: look in your heart.

More on quieting the mind. Again, I need acceptance of what is in the moment to find peace.

It is a simple program that we tend to complicate. Don't use mind altering substances, no matter what. Even kite flying can be an addiction if we allow it to, instead of looking at it as a spiritual thing.  It is a state of mind and I need to replace the physical with the spiritual.

I have problems and issues with my son who is in active addiction, although he has given me some hope, has started talking about going to detox.



I started back playing bridge and hope to keep playing in the future.
