Simple Being

“Living Simple Makes Loving simple”

Living under the pressure of everyone else’s ego’s including our own we can easily forget how simple life can be and how beautiful simplicity can be.  It really does not take a lot to be happy, all it takes is the choice to wake up excited and setting our intentions on finding the beauty in everything and everyone. Something as simple as a conversation with a dear friend or loved one, taking a trip down memory lane, going for a walk alone whether in the park or along the sand of the ocean, or even sharing a romantic night under the stars with your significant other. I find that sometimes we put so much emphasis on the grand gifts and experiences which are good momentarily, but I have learned is that the most memorable times of our life is often centered around the simple things. They cost nothing but mean everything especially when you are present in that moment.  Life in its self is an extravagant gift there for it is not necessary to complicate it less is more and simplicity is rare and beautiful.

There were times in my life that I used to question myself about all the things that just were not that important to me like fancy shoes, high end fashion, labels, all the things that most girls my age was into. I often thought maybe I was not Girley enough, I was not mature enough, but what I did realize was just how much the simple things in my life meant more to me and how much I cherished them.  As I got older I learned that most people relied on these things to make them happy or create an image for themselves. I also learned in conversations that those things meant nothing when in their moments of emptiness or feeling sad they could not look at or touch these things and feel a sense of peace, they would eventually have to see a solution outside if their possessions. Experiencing this really was my conclusion to that good old saying that money cannot buy happiness, it will provide us with stability and provision but we need to able to still find peace and love outside of all the things that define us, all the things we have accomplished our happiness cannot be attached to any of this. We can be grateful and proud without relying on them to be our source of happiness.

Give yourself the gift of simplicity and peace, learn to find joy in the beauty of life find the aww in everything by seeing the connection you have with everything and everyone. Instead of living in our egos of being separate and in competition focus less on all the things that sperate us and find peace by enjoying all that connects us. Let us challenge ourselves to give each other more of what matters or adding value to each other’s lives, give love, be kind, share knowledge and enjoy a spiritual connection.  The simple things are our blessings and if we are not present we can miss an opportunity to be joyful and gratitude filled.  Know that it is possible to be in great service through simplicity and love, life is not about wanting more or big grand gestures. The smallest act of love and kindness is free but valuable these are the things that will be most remembered and appreciated in the long run. So, I dear you to challenge yourself to give more by doing less and loving and sharing more starting with yourself.  To give love and share kindness to anyone else we must be able to first give these things to ourselves purely. Quality alone time and self-care is a simply and great start to create a life of purpose and love.
