When muddy waters stand, they become clear.. (11)
HJFinAZ: A group of friends went swimming one day and one of them lost a ring in the bottom of the lake.
Everyone started diving from different directions to find it until there was so much mud and sand stirred up that no one could see anything. Finally, they decided to clear the water. They waited silently on the edge of the shore for the mud from all their activity to settle. When it finally cleared, one person dove in slowly and picked up the ring.
When we are confused about something in our lives, we will often hear answers and advice from all directions. Our friends will tell us one thing and our families another, until we feel pretty well mixed up. If we look away from our problem and let patience and time do their work, the mud inside us will settle and clear. Our answer will become visible, like the glimmer of silver in the water.
Am I overlooking the simple solution?

True...It's always us that muddies the waters by complicating things instead of seeing things as they really are...Simple.....

We usually are overlooking the simple solutions, I think most of us have the ability to complicate things when they shouldn't.
But if we take some time and capture everything, process it...we might find out the simple solution was so obvious , right under our nose....
I think by default, I usually expect things to be complicated....I am working on accepting them to be simple and go smoothly...

Is that why many years ago I was told to sit down & shut up, I had nothing to say anyone needed to hear?
I think those old guys back then may have been on to something..
