Life Could Be So Simple But…

We make it so complicated.

This is not meant to trivialize the experience of life or the situation you may be going through at the moment. But honestly, when you step away, take a deep breath and look at things differently — change your perspective — the complexity of life changes.

We worry…and we worry…and we worry about things we have no control over and cannot change.

We fret and we fear about things that will never even happen.

We put so much energy and effort into things that are inconsequential.

Borrowing words from the notorious Lauryn Hill, “It could all be so simple. But you’d rather make it hard.”

Life has enough inherent twist and turns along the way, don’t complicate things and add to them if you don’t have to.

When you feel overwhelmed or filled with fear, anxiety or doubt answer these three questions: What do you want? Why do you want it? How do you get it?

Be honest — Be concise — Be loving. Make a decision based on where you are in that moment and let the rest go. The rest will take care of itself when the time comes.

Remind yourself in all situations to keep things simple.
