Is it simple being Simple?

A lot of our problems arise because we take life to be too complicated. It's like being stuck in quicksand. The more you try to get out the more you sink into it. Similarly, the more you try to complicate your life, the more complex it tends to get. Very few people have the ability to take life as it comes, to lead life in such a simple way that it makes you wonder whether they really are serious about it.

Success surely means you rise higher. It definitely augurs well for you. But then, as you move forward in your life, you do leave others behind, cause if no one gets left behind, no one will ultimately win the race. There are two ways to handle success. There is a complex way where-in you change yourself to a new person in a new role. The other and definitely the tougher way is to remain the same old person that you were and that had lead to your success.

It's not easy to change your attitude towards life overnight. Your personality is a culmination of a lot of events that have happened in your life over a long period of time and it's not easy to let go of everything at once. If at all a change has to come it will come slowly and the most important ingredients in that would have to be your patience, your honesty and your effort.

Life presents you with a new challenge at every instant. It's upto you to face those challenges and tackle them head on or to run away from them. There is no correct way to tackling your problems. It's just that you do what you think is best for you at the moment. This thinking as I have already mentioned cannot be changed overnight, and it takes some doing.

For some people, things are in black and white, right and wrong, true and false. For others there is a shade of grey in everything. The former choose to lead their life with an uncomplicated approach, the latter entangle themselves into a web from which they seldom get out of. What you choose is your wish, but what you wish might not be what you ultimately get.
