Know Thyself through LESS
Simplicity clears the mind; kindness opens the door
-May Sarton
I’ve thought about this quote and I agree.
Less is always more. The shorter the lists of worries and things to anguish over the better. I really like playing the drums, but I am not good at it. It is an incredibly difficult instrument, each of your four appendages is doing something different than the other three. For me, being somewhat decent requires complete and unbreakable focus. I cannot think about what I did or didn’t do, nor what I still need to do. I cannot think about the questionable tone someone took, how annoying the general public was, nor how terrible the world has become. Plus I get to bang on things. After an hour of doing this, I feel amazing, not just the high you get from exertion, but I feel clear, smart, alert; like I could ace a test. In those wonderful moments, I feel no malice, I do not covet what others have, I do not feel sorry for myself. I feel grateful and kind.
What do YOU think?
