...even as I type the word....the world starts to melt away.

All the self created clutter in my mind toward any given person/place/thing is always illuminated when I allow some SIMPLICITY to expand into the situation.

No worries...it's simple to just..ya know...TALK about simplicity!  I know you're hovering over there in a dark corner...guilty of letting daily additives ultimately affect your decision making. Guess what?  ME TOO!  

Come out into the light, and bring your complications with you!

There's plenty of reasons we get carried away and let the simplicity drift out of any given situation.  Fear plays a role in that, doubt, insecurities, and conditioning also play a role in it.

But....WHAT IF WE SHIFTED TO A SIMPLER PROSPECTIVE?  Where we allow only FACTS to outline our current situation?

Nothing but the facts...simplicity gives big ideas BIGGER meaning.

The truth here, though, is...it's easy to get caught up.  I realize that more than anyone, but I also realize there's always a element of simplicity at play to the things we humans complicate.  If you ever look at nature or animals or what have you and think they have the "easy life"...well so can YOU!  Nature, animals, etc aren't using thoughts to cloud their judgement.  What is, is.  Simply and effectively.

As a culture, we live in our heads.  Simplicity does not.  Simplicity EXISTS.   In every situation, every day, all around us.  To find it...we're not going to go through a mental checklist.  No way, Jose.  Put your good ol' pen to paper and simplify what it is your working on.  After you do, go back through and weed out ANYTHING that's not fact.   Then, after you're done impressing yourself with the ability to see the simplicity, identify some simple action steps.

At some point you're going to want to spend some time with the complications and why they're present in the first place.  While you identify simplicity, you may also start moving on from some conditioned self-sabotaging habits.  You'll start moving with a clarity, but more importantly....an ease.

See?  SIMPLE!
