Life becomes beautiful when you learn to live simply
Life is difficult.” We have often heard these words and nodded our heads in assent. Everyone can relate to life’s struggles, to arduous days that begin with some unknown burden we are carrying in our minds, to nights when we slip into a troubled sleep. Everybody seems to be trapped in the same slowly sinking boat, and for most of us, life is difficult, or at least it seems so.
However, it is not the whole truth, and like all partial truths, it provides shelter and refuge to the debris that has settled over the mind. Life is difficult when you make it complex, when you make it so complex that you find it difficult to live. And it is this struggle to live, this inability to live, that reverses the paradigm that life is easy.
Actually, life becomes easy, when you begin to live simply. When you value simplicity, you begin to live
with awareness. Life was meant to be simple. That is why the universe gave you everything of importance in abundance, and without any conditions.
You have never had to fight for the air you breathe, that keeps you alive. Rain and rivers replenish the
water that you need from in abundance. In summer, life gives you fruits and vegetables laden with water to replenish what the sun takes away from you. In winters, it gives you nuts that keep you warm from within.
Life has ensured your well-being, by taking care of each one of your basic needs, because life loves you.
Life is your mother. You are born out of her. Life’s blood flows in your veins. Like all mothers, life wants you to experience joy .

Learn to let go
Let go,’ two simple words, easy to understand, should be easy to practise as well, I thought smugly. Yet, from my own personal experience, I have found it difficult to practise and integrate. It is easier to believe that things happen to us, rather than that we attract them. Taking responsibility for circumstances
in our life, which may be necessary for our spiritual growth, requires letting
go of our own story line, our perception of the issue, and instead, looking at it objec-tively. But that requires us to change, which we tend to resist. Depending on your current life situation, ‘let go,’ can imply many different things. The simplest and most widely applicable meaning would be to stop expecting people to behave as we want them to. In other words, we need to drop the word ‘should’ from our vocabulary.
Letting go implies detachment and patience, the capacity to allow matters to resolve and evolve in their natural course of time. It is non-judgmental acceptance of the situation at the moment. Acceptance of your own limitations and imperfections is the first big step. Whether it is your illnesses, being kicked out of your job, or a stressful relationship that you cannot resolve, you will have to let people and things be as they are at the moment, however much you may wish to change them. Acceptance does not mean inaction. Acceptance indicates that you think constructively to manage the issue. Acceptance means that you have a different starting point for the race of life.

LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
There was a man taking a morning wa lk at or the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."
What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't we?
