“The height of cultivation should move toward simplicity. It is the halfway cultivation that leads to ornamentation …. the process to simplify is like a sculptor who continuously chisels away all the inessentials until he creates a master piece.” Bruce lee
I’ve been quieter these days. Not in a sense that I don’t give a fuck about life, but merely because I am learning to simplify things. My mornings are no longer filled with anger and rage, but curiosity and gratitude.
Most of my life has been in a constant state of stress. From the moment I woke up till the moment I went to bed, I was in a state of anxiety that prevented me from enjoying every minute.
But these days I wake up different, accepting what is and worrying less about what is to come.
Meditation is bringing calm into my life, and sitting with my thoughts is something I’ve never done. And it’s this consistency of stepping into the unknown that is allowing me to stay true to myself.
I see things as they are for the first time in my life, and I think it’s because I’ve changed my outlook on life.
