Every situation we face there is always a simple way to solve it. Have you realised what seems simple enough for you may be monumental achievement for another. For example , a simple addition is a colossal problem for my 5 year old but walking on a monkey bar or doing cartwheels is next to nothing. I would not be able to do cartwheels for nuts and certainly swinging upside down from a monkey bar is almost an impossible feat.
I realised that I had lost my sense of adventure. As kids I had great fun forming a secret society and going into the woods and look for clues to fight villians. Now I am perpetually scared of letting my dogs out into the woods.I am afraid they could get hurt.I am constantly reminded that they are dogs and they have to satisfy their sense of adventure when they are out in the wild.
We try constantly to find solutions to problems in our everyday life but things are better solved when you are laid back and you think of the simplest possible way to deal with it. Some people say I am perfectionist but I can say truthfully that I am obsessive.I am not extremely proud of it. I need everything straightened out in my family room before I go to bed even if its at 1 AM. I cannot see dirty dishes in the sink even if that means losing 30 mins of my valuable sleep time of which I get very little anyway. If we strive to be simple I think sometimes we will find ourselves finding a little more time to do somethings we like to do like read a book or watch a movie.Its been several years now since I actually sat straight through a movie. I am so restless and itching to get something done during that time. But I wish I could just tell myself I deserve that time to relax and just enjoy it.
I found that its always tougher to be simple than to be complicated . We need to execute to be more simple. Kids are always smiling because they don't have a problem with dirty clothes or a dirty room. They don't care if their toys are all over the floor they would still rest comfortably in their bed.We could definitely learn a thing or two here. I wish I could learn to think like a child and start working towards uncomplicating my life. Good luck with that !! :)
