My Mission Statement

💚I work towards full clarity on what is most important by getting rid of everything that isn’t, and by saying no to things that don’t matter. To matter, they must support health and/or love in my life. I create limits so that I am free to expand in the best directions and don’t feel pressured to go in all directions.

I reject perfection, comparison, and competition. I don’t resent the past, or let the future dictate the present. I am firmly rooted in the present and to support that I take time to listen to my heart and feed and feel my soul. The quiet messages from my heart and soul guide my decision-making in life and work. I trust myself to know what feels right and good usually is right and good.

I lift myself up with good food, meditation, movement and creativity so I can lift the people around me including my close friends and family, and anyone else who needs something as simple as a smile, or as complex as massive change in their life, or work.

In my work, I inspire people to simplify their work and lives so they can discover and enjoy what matters most to them.

Think of your mission statement as soulful framework that guides you instead of a strict list of rules. My mission statement describes how I want to live, but like all humans, I slip and slide and get distracted. When I notice things are getting slippery, I go back to basics and remind myself to start again.

*****************

To portray the richness of simplicity, here are eight different flow­erings that I see growing in the "garden of simplicity." Although there is overlap among them, each expression of simplicity seems sufficiently distinct to warrant a separate category. These are pre­sented in no particular order, as all are important.

1. Uncluttered Simplicity: Simplicity means taking charge of lives that are too busy, too stressed, and too fragmented. Simplicity means cutting back on clut­ter, complications, and trivial distractions, both mate­rial and nonmaterial, and focusing on the essentials — whatever those may be for each of our unique lives. As Thoreau said, "Our life is frittered away by detail…. Simplify, simplify." Or, as Plato wrote, "In order to seek one's own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life."

2. Ecological Simplicity: Simplicity means choosing ways of living that touch the Earth more lightly and that reduce our ecological impact on the web of life. This life-path remembers our deep roots with the soil, air, and water. It encourages us to connect with na­ture, the seasons, and the cosmos. An ecological sim­plicity feels a deep reverence for the community of life on Earth and accepts that the nonhuman realms of plants and animals have their dignity and rights as well.

3. Family Simplicity: Simplicity means placing the well-being of one's family ahead of materialism and the acquisition of things. This expression of green liv­ing puts an emphasis on providing children with healthy role models living balanced lives that are not distorted by consumerism. Family simplicity affirms that what matters most in life is often invisible — the quality and integrity of our relationships with one an­other. Family simplicity is also intergenerational — it looks ahead and seeks to live with restraint so as to leave a healthy Earth for future generations.

4. Compassionate Simplicity: Simplicity means feel­ing such a strong sense of kinship with others that, as Gandhi said, we "choose to live simply so that oth­ers may simply live." A compassionate simplicity means feeling a bond with the community of life and being drawn toward a path of cooperation and fair­ness that seeks a future of mutually assured develop­ment for all.

5. Soulful Simplicity: Simplicity means approaching life as a meditation and cultivating our experience of direct connection with all that exists. By living simply, we can more easily awaken to the living universe that surrounds and sustains us, moment by moment. Soul­ful simplicity is more concerned with consciously tasting life in its unadorned richness than with a par­ticular standard or manner of material living. In culti­vating a soulful connection with life, we tend to look beyond surface appearances and bring our interior aliveness into relationships of all kinds.

6. Business Simplicity: Simplicity means that a new kind of economy is growing in the world, with healthy and sustainable products and services of all kinds (home-building materials, energy systems, food pro­duction, transportation). As the need for a sustainable infrastructure in developing nations is being com­bined with the need to retrofit and redesign the homes, cities, workplaces, and transportation systems of developed nations, it is generating an enormous wave of green business innovation and employment.

7. Civic Simplicity: Simplicity means that living more lightly and sustainably on the Earth requires changes in every area of public life — from public transporta­tion and education to the design of our cities and workplaces. The politics of simplicity is also a media politics, as the mass media are the primary vehicle for reinforcing — or transforming — the mass consciousness of consumerism. To realize the magnitude of changes required in such a brief time will require new approaches to governing ourselves at every scale.

8. Frugal Simplicity: Simplicity means that, by cutting back on spending that is not truly serving our lives, and by practicing skillful management of our per­sonal finances, we can achieve greater financial inde­pendence. Frugality and careful financial management bring increased financial freedom and the opportu­nity to more consciously choose our path through life. Living with less also decreases the impact of our consumption upon the Earth and frees resources for others.

As these eight approaches illustrate, the growing culture of simplicity contains a flourishing garden of expressions whose great diversity — and intertwined unity — are creating a resilient and hardy ecology of learning about how to live more sustainable and meaningful lives. As with other ecosystems, it is the diversity of expressions that fosters flexibility, adaptability, and resilience. Because there are so many pathways into the garden of simplic­ity, this self-organizing movement has enormous potential to grow....

Simplicity is Spirituality.

◇ श्रद्धावान् लभते ज्ञानम्. Listening is Learning.

◇ Everything should be made as S!mple as possible, but not simpler.

◇ Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

◇ It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.

◇ Expect the unExpected, Proactiveness is Sensing before it happens.

◇ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

◇ The oldest, shortest words - 'yes' and 'no' - are those which require the most thought.

◇ I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.

◇ Never discredit your gut instinct. Trust your hunches.

Always trust your gut feelings, as they never lie the way people do.

◇ Intuition is a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

◇ Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?

Expediency asks the question - is it politic?

Vanity asks the question - is it popular?

But conscience asks the question - is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Four Agreements are:

1. Be Impeccable with your Word:Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Closing cycles

by Paulo Coelho

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden?

You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.

That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.

Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.

Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.

Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.

Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.

This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.

Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life.

Stop being who you were, and change into who you are. .

Happy Morning.Keep Smiling. 😊

The science of how to let go

When to let go, why to let go, where to let go and how to let go is a matter of prudence. But the need to let go is a matter of common sense.

If you are selfless, then it’s easy to let go. But if you are selfish, then it’s critically important to let go.

The first installment that is deposited into your account for investing in the let-go-fund is mental peace. Mental peace

automatically restores one’s ability to see clearly. Clear vision helps you spot newer opportunities that had otherwise blurred when seen with a disturbed mind.

The second installment that is deposited into your account for investing in the let-go-fund is freedom from fear. Fear is the outcome of resisting change that challenges what you guard the most. To the degree one is willing to let go, to that degree fear loses its power.When you let go at the right time, in the right way and in the right mood, you blossom internally and are honored externally.

When you don’t let go at the right time, in the right way and in the right mood, you shrivel into self-pity internally and defend yourself like a lone knight externally.

Chanakya Quotes

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

A man is great by deeds, not by birth.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.

God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

Greetings🙏from GPR.
