Simplicity Is the Key to a Happy Life
Two ways you make your life more complicated than it has to be
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”
— Confucius
As I pause and think about this quote, I realize how much modern life has brought complexity to our lives. Too many people are making their lives more complicated than it has to be, adding more stress to their lives.
They overcomplicate things, overthink their decisions, and surround themselves with too many choices. These are the roadblocks that prevent them from reaching a state of happiness.
The truth is, life is already stressful enough. Why add additional stress to it?
The reason your life is complicated is that you’ve made it that way.
You’ve crossed that golden threshold of happiness and stepped into a complex, chaotic existence. If you go in the opposite direction, you’ll realize that living a simple life is the key to a happy life. You can step on a journey of bliss any time, but only if you choose to do so.
The key to a happy life is living a simple life.
Here are two ways we make our lives more complicated.
