“The ability of simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” – Hans Hoffman

When you simplify your life, you instantly feel relieved of the negative feelings which so far dominated you.

Here are the easy tricks to do it.

1. Forgo impatience

When you are impatient, you become easily irritable and keyed up. Impatience makes you concentrated only on your viewpoint. You become selfish and self-centered.

Do you know your impatience earns you many enemies?

It earns the anger of your spouse. Your children fear you. Your friends find it impossible to reason with you. And in the end, you are completely isolated.

So, it is time you forgo your impatience. Practice patience. It is amazing how relaxed you feel.

2. Forgo grudge

Having grudge against others is the worst way of complicating your life.

Why do you have grudge against others?

The answer is very simple!

You harbor grudge against a person who rubs you the wrong way. The injustice the person did to you makes your blood boil with anger.

How wrong you are in feeling grudge for a worthless person?

It is amazing that you feel grudge against a person who doesn’t deserve your notice at all. It is also strange that a meaningless person is making your life miserable.

Do you know when you are fuming and fretting about the person behind your grudge, he leads a happy life?

It is time you threw the person behind your grudge away from your life. And throw away your grudge also. Never let it complicate your life, ever again.

Easiest way to simplify your life.

3. Forgo anger

Anger destroys your happiness and the happiness of the people around you.

Why are you angry?

You have many expectations about your spouse\children\parents\friends.  You expect them to behave in a way you like. And when it does not happen, you feel frustrated and angry.

You are angry when your children do not listen to you.

You are angry when you are held up in a traffic jam.

In fact, you are angry at almost everything.

This is a wrong way to lead your life.

Do not have any expectations about others, as you will invariably be disappointed.

Do not feel angry about things over which you have no control. Deviate your mind from the emotions that make you angry.

4. Forgo jealousy

Why do you feel jealous?

• You feel others are better than you are.
• You feel they are luckier than you are.
• You feel they are wealthier than you are.

Do you know you are demeaning yourself when you feel jealous?

Never ever, feel jealous, as you will be very unhappy about your life.

You have your own share of good things in life and so you need not envy others.

Jealousy complicates your life as it makes you feel a lesser person.

5. Forgo procrastination

When you delay doing your work, you are in fact delaying your success.

When you delay in talking out your problems with your spouse, you are widening the rift between you.

Procrastinating your work makes you burdened with a backlog of it.

When you delay apologizing to your friend regarding your angry outburst, you lose a good friendship.

When you procrastinate repairing your relationship, you might lose your marriage.

Can you see that procrastination is always bad for your life?

6. Forgo laziness

Laziness stems from you disinterest in work. You invariably postpone your work when you feel lazy.

And inevitably, someone snatches your opportunity right under your nose. If only you were active, the opportunity could have been yours.

Laziness is a major reason for your delayed success.

7. Forgo comparison

When you compare yourself with others, you will definitely feel inadequate.

You will lose sight of the good things you have and feel unlucky that you do not have what others have.

Comparison is a worst way of degrading yourself.

Simplify your life by being content and satisfied with what you have.

8. Forgo trying to keep even with others

The world has become a rat race and everyone wants to outwit others.

You too join the rat race and compete with others as if your life depended on it.

This is the reason for the stress and tension you feel.

If your friend buys a car, you too must have it.

If your neighbor has bought something new, you want it for you too.

Why this competition?

Are you leading your life for others?

Your life is your own and your needs are uniquely yours. You must live according to your financial status and capacity.

What your friend\colleague\relative gets is for his happiness. It has nothing to do with your life. None whatsoever.

9. Forgo the thought that money is everything

If you think money is everything in life, you are sadly mistaken.

Money gives you a great buying capability. It also gives you an incredible status symbol.

But it cannot bring happiness and fulfillment in your life. Happiness in life depends entirely on your mindset.

This does not mean you should not earn well. But take away the thought that only money can make you happy, because it doesn’t.

10. Forgo the excuse of not having time for family

You might be highly successful, but when you do not have good relationship with your family you will never enjoy true happiness in your life.

Most of you concentrate on earning money and ignore your family life as not important.

Understand that you are earning for the betterment of your family.

Excellent interaction with your family gives you an emotional security which no professional success can give you.

CONCLUSION

Can you see how you complicate life by letting in unwanted emotions to rule your mind?

Simplify your life by de cluttering your mind off all the unneeded qualities that give you unhappiness.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Everything about life is so simple, yet you complicate it. When you shove aside the negative qualities that threaten to make you feel hellish, your life is a lot simpler and enjoyable too.
