Simplicity of Life

There is much more and much less in this world and life than we think. WE think too hard. We need to spend more time listening with our hearts. We too often react in worldly ways. We are all in control of ourselves. We have little control over physical and worldly happenings.

Money seems to take care of everything. Yet money means nothing. People listen to money. Money speaks. If someone can listen only with money--They are not fully ready to receive God.

Everything is Black and White. It appears simpler to live thinking there are shades of gray. Wrong appears easier at times and pointing the finger at other's wrongs givers us a false sense of security in ourselves. Only through listening with our hearts and doing what is right will we find true joy, love and contentment within ourselves.

Love one another--you don't have to love a person's actions or reactions. We have our own thoughts and beliefs. We have ways in which we are right. Each of us have ways in which we are wrong. Who are we to judge each other's actions and beliefs? Neither of us is more or less only different. We are all from God.

Be true to your heart. Be true to God. No human being can be right at all times and separate from worldly things totally. Only God is pure and perfect. He is all positive. Take knowledge, thoughts, beliefs and ideas from others to make you more. Let go of and don't accept into you heart negavive things or ideas that make you less. Don't let what others do wrong have a negative influence for you to do wrong. Strive to share the positive and let go of the negative.

Pray for guidance and don't be shy about praying for help to understand. God helps those who help themselves. Let go of any sence of responsibility you feel towards others which cause you resentment. We don't need to make people feel or act the wary we think they should.

Don't let go of your responsibility of you. We are each in SOUL control
of ourselves. We can't control all that is around us but if we can find joy, love and contentment within our hearts this is the meaning of life--this is the point.

People are looking too much in the world for the answers to life. If they would just stop and "smell the roses" the answer to life is so simple.

We don't need to worry about buying things to make our children happy.
It's not possible to teach our children every worldly thing and never make mistakes.
The #1 thing to teach our children, ourself and help others to understand is how to listen with our hearts to God.

People need to feel Right from Wrong. Strive to do right no matter how "wronged" you might feel. Love yourself and be true to yourself. Be simple. Look at the simple picture of life. Don't think too hard. Listen and you will hear. When it's truly right you will know.

God speaks in mysterious ways. He will not put us through more than we can handle. Burderns, troubles, joys, sadness, pain and love are all for reasons. The reasons are not always clear or to be known right now. When it's time to know if we are open and true to our hearts we'll know.

Strive to be right and fair. Don't worry over mistakes you make. We all need to learn. Don't be afraid to say when your wrong or sorry this makes you more not less.

If one day seems so good, it doesn't mean everyday will seem just as good. If one day seems so bad, it doesn't mean tomorrow won't bring happiness.

ONE DAY AT A TIME.
