LIFE FORCE LESSON #6: THE GIFT OF SIMPLICITY
courtesy of Natalia Rose
"If you were to chart exactly how you spend your time and energy each day, how much of it would be unnecessary?...Consider the actual importance of everything you do in a day. Where you put your energy is where you are sending your life force. Which of those activities are truly helping you to conduct the life force where it's most important? And which of them do you carry out mindlessly according to convention and consumer-driven ideas of measuring up?
The less toxic you are, the fewer needs you have. The fewer needs you have, the freer you are to pursue what's most important to you. Take a moment to revise your consumption. Even if you do not make any big changes today, take a moment to consider what is essential, what is less essential, and what no longer serves any real purpose in your life.
...Once you know what you truly and deeply need - down to your very cells - you will realize how much else you don't need or even want, and no amount of outside noise will be able to tell you otherwise!"
