“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” ~Confucius
I was speaking hope into a roomful of people the other night and I shared with them some simple keys to effective living I learned all the way back to my days spent in a chemical dependency treatment facility.
1. Lesson Learned:Â There is a spiritual solution to all of my problems.
 Action Step: Spend time with God and seek His will all the time, but especially when I first get up in the morning.
Results:Â My problems are minimized and a whole new life is presented to me.
2. Lesson Learned:Â I have a thinking problem, not a drinking or drugging problem.
 Action Step: Talk hope and opportunity to myself (the committee in my head) instead of problems and despair.
Results:Â I begin seeing opportunities instead of problems.
3. Lesson Learned:Â Every day I need to get up and do the things that take me one step closer to my goals or else I am taking steps back to my old way of doing things.
Action Step:Â Every Sunday map out a plan for each day that keeps moving me forward.
Results:Â Exponential growth of the body, mind and spirit.
4. Lesson Learned: You cannot keep what you have unless you give it away. The best way to get out of yourself is to get out of yourself.
Action Step:Â Try, to the best of my ability, to help others see and live the first 3 steps above on a daily basis.
Results:Â More people are equipped, ready, willing and able to act on Lesson 4 from above.
**Results from living these 4 Lessons a day at a time:Â a better world.
It’s not rocket science.
Oh and one final Lesson Learned:Â Keep it simple-stupid (KISS)…this was the 5th and probably the most important thing I heard in the treatment center.
P.E.A.C.E.
