A few days ago, while making a
hotel reservation, I needed to speak to a ‘real live’ person. The
reservationist was most polite and professional. She was able to get the
details worked out, for which I needed to speak to someone about, and a room
reserved. When asked my email address for receipt of confirmation, I gave her keepingitsosimple@gmail.
To my unexpected surprise the professional reservationist, relaxed and, with hopeful anticipation that I might have the secret answer, asked, “Have
you figured it out, how to keep it so simple?” With a little giggle I responded, “I’m
still working on the details, but life, while it isn't easy, is so simple.”
Often when consulting with perspective life
coach clients I hear with exasperation, “I just want my life to be easy!” I
have learned, over the past few years, to not laugh at this statement, for having
done so has probably cost me a few clients. It isn't that I laughed at them or
at their desire for their life to be easy, I laugh because, well, from my
experience, from all the research I've done, life isn't necessarily going to be
nor intended to be easy.
What I have discovered, what I've
learned, is that while life isn't always going to be easy, life is simple. When
we peel the layers of our life back, peel back to the point of what we really
want, or to what the real ‘issues’ confronting us are, we will find at that raw
point lies the simplicity of desire and resolution. And, what else I've discovered
by peeling back, opening up, is that what is exposed is pure truth. When we are
true to self, to the divine within, and to our lives we will find simple is truth and truth is simple.
