There is a tendency to complicate our lives which increases the drama quotient in our lives. This helps in one phase of our life when the drama keeps us busy and away from real work and from achieving our real potential. But then we reach a stage when the drama weighs heavy on us and we realise we have to get on with the real stuff and drop the unnecessary stuff. Its a matter of survival, of course correction to at least achieve some part of our potential we had covered up.
The challenge is that the drama appears too real. Its addictive also. We also may have bought into it and find ways to justify it, to intellectualise it.
But when push comes to shove - money is dwindling, health is troubling, relationships are breaking, peace of mind is going - its time to wake up and take responsibility. Instead of going deeper into philosophy and intellectual discussions with abstract stuff, its best to do the work. First, to drop the drama i.e. drop the victim story - stop using words that paint you as the victim, stop berating others or finding fault outside. Second, take responsibility and figure a course of action. Third, act from a space of ownership. Fourth, use all resources, your own (mental, emotional, physical, skill) and those around you to make concrete, small steps forward.
Move forward. Baby steps. Get out of the quicksand.
Cut out the drama. Simplify.
Simplify
