I was thinking of all of the people who had lived and died since the beginning of the world, and how they coped with the unavoidable physical and mental pains in their lives prior to their demise. How did each and everyone view their coming death, and how did they cope and come to accept their death when their time passed upon them. And then it hit me. Death is a natural part of living and growing, both physically and spiritually and should not be feared. Adverse matters themselves don't injure or handicap us. Nor do others. How we regard these matters is another affair. It's our mental attitude and response that give us problems. Consequently, even dying is no big deal in and of itself. It's our opinion of dying, our thought that it's frightening, that terrifies us. There are so many numerous and different ways to consider death. Scrutinize your beliefs about death - and everything else. Are they genuinely truthful? Are they serving you any goodness? Don't fear death or pain; fear the fear of death or pain. We can't select our outside circumstances, but we can forever decide how we cab react to them. Oh yea---stop your worrying this instant.

I think many of us avoid asking what's really important to us because it forces us to recognize the staggering number of choices available to us, and that can be dizzying. For myself, and when working with people, it's about feeling that dizziness, and breathing and relaxing my body until it passes away -- and when that's happened, a clearer sense of purpose emerges.

It's common to fall into the trap that "simple" should happen easily and without thought or attention - it rarely does. That's actually how things become complex, because of the lack of thought and focus. Your six steps are essential to maintaining simplicity in life. Thanks, Leo; and thanks Eric for such a great guest writer! Useful post! It’s common to fall into the trap that “simple” should happen easily and without thought or attention – it rarely does.
