SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING

Why do people enjoy making things so complicated for themselves? Some people seem to think that if it is easy, it almost is not worth it so it has to be complicated otherwise it is not going to be challenging enough. This logic confuses me because surely, the best way to try and do anything is to make it as simple as possible for yourself. This does not mean it will be easy or simple but as simplified as you can make something is the best strategy moving forward.

Logic on things does get confusing. You want everything to come easy but it never does, if something is easy you may be less inclined to do it because you know you can. You want things to be challenging so they feel worthwhile but if something is challenging then you are less inclined to do it. It is very contradictory of one another. I say this, just simplify everything as much as you can and go from there.

Like with solving a problem for example, the best way to do it is to attack it head on in the simplest fashion. Do not look at what will make your life more difficult and challenging, find a way to make it easier. If you try and simplify things and they still come out as complicated then that is just the way it goes sometimes but it does not mean that you should shy away!

If people just took a deep breath and found a way to make things work for them rather than trying to change how they do things in order to struggle with something, a lot of what you do would make more sense and become more natural. We are built a certain way and there is a lot we can and a lot we cannot do. You are great at something that somebody else is not so great at and vice versa. Your logic, your way of thinking may not work in every situation but in most, you can find a way to make sense of everything.

Keep it simple, do not over complicate your life like I might have over complicated this blog, contradictory I know, make it as stress free for yourself as possible but never shy away from a challenge.

YOU’RE PERFECTLY CAPABLE.
