When doubt seeps into one’s mind, and confusion reigns, it is important to remember the essential truths from which all facts of life emanate. If one can, at any time, break down into elementary pieces the fundamental nature of one’s life, then salvation will be the ultimate reward.

Trouble brews when complications arise and succeed in overstating what is. Simplicity is therefore the answer, and by its very nature holds the key to a trouble-free future.

There are just so many tasks which can occupy a day, and the stress and worry associated with juggling too many balls bring about the downfall of mankind. We are told that success means hard work, and that, if we pause to reflect upon the thoughts that plague our minds, we will miss the boat, be left behind in this race called life.

But success is defined in many ways, and no single definition satisfies. And the thoughts we try so desperately to ignore only return with greater force, all the more, for the neglect they have received. A slower pace serves not only self, but all of life. And much can be accomplished slowly, with the right intent.

Play your daily dramas over in your mind. Turn back the clock and slow down the scenes, significantly, until a comedy of sorts is played. There is so much waste and unnecessary haste. When life is viewed at snail’s pace a better understanding is gained of what is important in that moment portrayed.

View your day, frame by frame, and make each moment count. Edit out the farcical and obvious. Leave a little room for mystery and intrigue, and you will find clarity and peace.
