We may live in materialistic times, but there is no disgrace in material decrease, particularly if it represents an investment in future gain — even if that gain be in the form of one's education or the development of personal character. Likewise, the inner strength that comes from bearing loss can be balanced by a corresponding increase in inner strength and insight — as in the expression 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' When letting go of attachment and personal demands leads to a greater simplicity in daily life, good fortune often comes calling.
In nature, the lake evaporates to form the clouds that drop the rain that nurtures the surrounding forest. As the forest grows thick, more rain is captured for the lake. Similarly, an 'evaporation' or decrease in one area of your life, may give rise to an eventual increase in another. A loss of responsibility at work can mean more free time; more free time may generate more career options. A period of decrease is not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it can free the spirit and fill the soul.
Be mindful of the lesson of young lovers: even with a minimum of possessions, feelings of the heart can bring an unsurpassed richness to life. The smallest of actions, if sincere, have value. So remain confident, for a time of decrease may actually bode good fortune, especially if you remain open to that possibility.
Let go of frustration, resistance and regret over whatever may be going down at this time. Accept the cycle, and remember what goes down must come up.

Simplicity to Complexity
Simplicity to Complexity
Why today's architects make simple things look so complex and call it 'innovation'
Key words simple,complex and innovation.....
Innovation -an introduction to something unique.....a new idea...or eureka.
Somethings just sounds so simple......but somewhere there is a complexity .......yet some people makes one feel very simple inspite of all the complexity......
Is it the same......when accounted to space.....Is it just the feeling....or are all spaces simple...and Is one made to feel the simplicity or complexity........
or Is simplicity and complexity just another concept........
or just another paradigm that we face every day...like order to disorder to order......
well i just thot of all this as i was decluttering my room which i do several times a day....as i own a 5 year old son who just loves to clutter my room......
