Simplicity

As I look into my life for the past few months, I realized that there is something missing in it. I try to search for what is missing, and I found it. It was simplicity. The element of simplicity is lacking in my life. Whatever things I do, I have missed to put the simplicity in it.

Here, in this post, I would like to emphasize and share my thoughts that simplicity in life is among the tool that helps us to be healthy or stay healthy (if you are already healthy). It is very common that people nowadays are very busy in their life. They forgot about the things that are really compulsory for their body.

As my mind do the thinking job, I found out this thing. If your body wants to sleep, go and take a sleep. If your body wants some food, go for it, healthy foods will do. If your work or your career demands you to work five hours, then do well in that five hours and let the rest do their job. If your family needs you, be available. And whatever things you do, focus on the objective first, try to reach the objective and put some flower on it. Not too much, but in moderation.

Use simple things around you. Make yourself comfortable. If somethings bothering you, try to look at the cause of it. When you found the cause, try harder to keep in mind that you will not going to do the same thing again, but trying to do the best to leap higher above the things that bothering you in your life. If you feel that this post is to simple, that's because I am in the process of practicing simplicity in my life. Above all, put everything first in God's hand. Surrender everything in Him and He will do the rest!

As the Bible said, "and having food and raiment let us be therewith content." 1 Timothy 6:8 (KJV)
