A Change Of Attitude

Difficult, difficult, difficult…
   Easy, easy, easy…
Neither difficult nor easy.
          -Zen Buddhism

As I work at sorting clutter, I occasionally feel as if I’m floundering. We have so much that is just junk, and I don’t always know what to do with it. I get overwhelmed.

I was ready to just give up at about the time I found the above quotation. I sat down and pondered it for a bit. It seemed silly at first. The more I thought about it, though, the more I understood that it is true. If you want to accomplish a task (whether it is de-cluttering the house or preparing a speech), you need the proper attitude.

One step at a time, I’m continuing to de-clutter and organize. I’m chanting this quote as a mantra.

This journey began on a separate blog (you can click here to read About Out Of Chaos), but that wasn’t really simplifying was it? I moved all of the posts to This Eclectic Life under the category Out Of Chaos. I’ll be adding more from time to time. I hope you join me.
