The world is a complicated place. Since we all have to live in it, the fewer complications we add to it, the better our lives become. I think one of the primary reasons that so many people struggle with life and fail at goals is because they tend to make everything much too complicated. In short, we’re very good at making mountains out of mole hills. The remedy for this human tendency to complicate things is to become more simple minded.
The typical definition of simple mindedness is a negative one that means “to be stupid, or silly or foolish or to lack sophistication or be naïve.” I mean something totally different; I’m implying breaking down life happenings into their smallest components in order to minimize stress, increase productivity, create simplicity and make life less chaotic. One of my favorite quotes about simplicity comes from Albert Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." It would be beneficial to all of us if we all became a little more simple-minded with the daily matter of our lives.

MY THOUGHTS
Mountains out of mole hills? We make mountain ranges out of soil in a flower pot.
