Keep it simple

Life.  It’s a beautiful thing.  It can be really simple or really complicated.  It’s your choice.  If you strip away all the bullshit and the what if’s, but’s and maybe’s and you get to to core of the situation and you ask yourself “Is this what I want?  Does this make me happy now?” and you can answer that honestly.  Well then you have your answer.  And then you will find a way to make it work.  Or you will find an excuse, which in itself is an answer.

I tend to look at things very simplistically and I isolate the issue at hand.  The underlying issue might I ad.  To me everything is simple.  It might not always be easy to face up to things and to ask yourself the hard questions and to carry them out.  But in essence it’s simple to get to the answer.  I just don’t have the time to fuck around with shit that doesn’t ad positively to my life experience.  And if I find something worth my while, I will do whatever it is in my power to do to maintain and build on that.  Even if it means compromising.  Because if something is worth it for me, I don’t see it as compromising or giving up something, because I don’t do anything that I don’t really want to do.  Life is all about give and take, and sometimes if it means I have to change something in order to get something, I do it without question.  Because it helps me get something else that I want more.

It doesn’t help to be rigid when it comes to life.  One has to be flexible, go with the flow and adapt.  I think I have that down to a fine art at this point.  Simply because my perception is different.  Everything is a choice.  And when you get this and you practice this,  you start taking responsibility and then there is no room for resentment or regret.
