Simplify

Our life is frittered away by detail ... simplify, simplify. ~ Henry David Thoreau
In response to this quotation, Thoreau's friend and mentor reportedly said, "I think one 'simplify' would have sufficed."

All too often, we "make mountains out of molehills." Our lives become frazzled because we have too many things pulling us in different directions.

Life doesn't have to be overly complex.
Slow down. Breathe. Appreciate.


Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. ~ Leonardo da Vinci

    Love the quotes. It's true that we need to simplify our lives, and find out what we really want to achieve. We only have so much time, so it's best to dedicate it to doing the things that will make us happiest.
