The simplicity of just being

Life is as complicated as we choose to make it or allow it. It is a lens we choose, an avoidance of now.

Complication is a barrier to living, it stops us showing up, it keeps us from the moment and it is how the mind sabotages our life.

Stay intensely focused on this moment, the sounds, the smells, all our senses, and then there is no space for thought, no space for complication as it is drowned in the simplicity of just being.

I want life to be easier

The more we strive and seek to make life ‘easier’ the less life has a value or worth. We fight and struggle to avoid problems or challenges that in itself brings negativity and all the challenges of the mind. Easy is another way of avoiding life, of not showing up and then struggling with all the angst of the fears of failure, of not being worthy.

Let life be, the challenges are there for us to experience and to learn from and to grow. The struggle and sacrifice bring us long-lasting peace and joy, a chance to be in the moment and to let things be, surrending to what comes our way and removing the fight. Simply living, a thing that people rarely do anymore, as they are too busy in their minds worrying about how to make things better when life is already amazing right now.

The purpose of life is to be, to live, not to seek constantly something other than what we already have in the hope that life will be better and easier.
