Keep it simple

The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to
make sure that he never knows that he’s in prison.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Many people are prisoners of their own minds when
they over-complicate things. It is a lonely state. In
recovery, we are told to keep it simple. When we are
continually preoccupied with something, we
cannot enjoy the world around us. Do I remember
what I was worrying about last week?

We are what we think. All that we are arises
with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we
make our world. The Buddha

The duality of character in so many addicted
persons is one reason for complicated thinking.
Because our addiction leads us to do so much that
is against our better judgement, we are constantly
struggling with cognitive dissonance that makes us
unhappy. It is so much easier to keep things simple
when we are at peace with ourselves. Today I ask
God to help me see that most complications in my
life begin in my mind.
