What is the complex, but an accumulation of that which is simple?

What are big things, if not just a multitude, of little things?

There's comfort in the understanding that all we have in life, all there is, is simplicity,

easy to understand pieces.

It's just that sometimes we stack them so high that they start to take a new shape.

But like Greg McKeown references in his book Essentialism,

the power isn't always in acquiring answers.

You already have them.

They're in front of you.

The power is in cutting away the things that don't need to be there.

Removing all that stands between you and your ideal existence.

And I think that's one of life's great misunderstandings.

We don't need to find more. We need to remove the excess until we're

face to face with what matters. And to adopt this principle, it's nothing short of liberating.

Chaos, confusion, disorder, they don't imply that you lack the right things. They suggest you haven't stripped life of the wrong things.

You have not simplified.

A thousand miles is intimidating when you look at it holistically.

It's a long journey. But it's just a collection of steps, and well, shouldn't we find solace in the fact that anyone

can take one step?

It's not a game of complexity.

It's a game of understanding what's in front of you.

And what's in front of you is always manageable.
