Some of the biggest disasters in the world began quite simply. When a dam breaks, it isn't always the massive catastrophe that is the cause. It is often the little leak that began years ago that went unnoticed or un-remedied.
When things happen, I like to try to get to the bottom of them. If you have a flat tire, you can put more air in it but if you don't find the cause of the tire flattening, it will continue to flatten. Flat tires are often remedied with a simple fix. However, if you don't remedy the cause, it will only get worse.
The same things happen in our lives. We keep going back to the same things, we keep putting air back into a leaking tire, we keep trying to make things work without figuring out why they aren't working. Often, the simplest fix is to just realize that it isn't worth fixing.
Today's word is a quote from Dr. Steve Maraboli, which says, "The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go."
We like to hold onto things. So many of us are pack rats with everything. We will hold onto old hurts as easily as we hold onto old hats. We will hold onto old grudges as much as we hold onto old gadgets. How simple our lives would become if we would just learn to let it go. And, I am speaking to me...
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
