A simple life is a happy life

A  simple life is a happy life

By Mani Jack

What makes our life complicated? Others? This world? Our own thoughts? Our own expectations?Should we curse the rain when we expect sunshine? Should we blame the traffic jam when we wake up late? Should we blame the pile of work when we love procrastination? Should we blame our poor metabolism when we eat at the wrong time? Should we blame the noise when we choose to be there? Should we blame others just because they didn’t meet our expectations? Should we be too critical on ourselves when we know that we are not perfect? Should we blame the burning sun when we live in a tropical country? Should we blame the price just because we are not financially ready? Should we blame others who reject us when we silently know that we have to improve ourselves first?

What is a simple life? My definition may not be the same with yours. In my point of view and based on my own experiences, a simple life is trying my best to embrace imperfections.

If I can’t complete what I am supposed to complete today, I will continue to do it the next day because if I were to sacrifice my time and my health to finish my work, I might not be able to wake up the next day.

If I don’t get good news today, I tell myself that bad news doesn’t last forever because life is a cycle. Good news will always come as rainbows would come after heavy rains.

If I don’t get what I want today, I will try my best to look at what I have and be thankful for each blessing.

If my friend fails to reply to my message, I tell myself that my friend might be struggling with something that I may never know or something that I have never experienced. Just pray to God that HE will assist your good friends. Good friends will always come back to you when they are emotionally ready.

If I have arguments with my wife, I will study the causes and learn to be the first to say sorry as marriage is supposed to be more important than my EGO as a man.

If somebody hurts me today, must try to forgive them before I sleep because our refusal to forgive will turn into anger which will keep our eyes open until morning.

In conclusion, a simple life is one of the keys to happiness as death is very close while sweet moments require commitment. Furthermore, life will always become complicated when we deny the existence of God.
