Don’t take yourself so goddamn seriously.

I prefer variety. In my choice of clothing. My cuisine and my activities, but there is power and focus in simplifying.
I’ve always found it fascinating when I see people who choose to wear the same color of suit, shirt and tie to work. Their closet is filled with duplicates. There’s not a lot who lean this way, but it gets me thinking. They would claim it takes the guess work out of picking an outfit. Okay. I don’t feel like I waste too much time doing that, but I can see the value. That way we can focus more time on the important things.
This very well may carry over into other aspects of our lives as well. It would certainly save time walking around a grocery store deciding on what to buy for dinner if I chose to eat the same thing every night. I’m not quite sure how long I would last with that, though.
In my business, I’m sure I can simplify not only what I focus on in my daily tasks, but what we choose to market to the public. Maybe if we stripped it down to just one feature that our product includes and market that. Apple was notorious for doing this. They seemed to do alright.
Simplicity may very well be the answer to a lot of problems.
It can be said 10,000 different ways, but the truth is we always learn more when we’re uncomfortable. There is nothing new we can discover by being in a place where there’s absolutely no resistance.
This is why we must always consider choosing to be in some sort of discomfort. Let’s make it a habit. Maybe we can come to a higher understanding of the big picture and where it will take us. Growthville.
We always feel better about ourselves after the challenge has been faced and we decide to commit. Discomfort equals growth. Growth gives us perspective. Perspective enlightens us and ultimately we find wisdom.
Who wouldn’t want that?!
This can be a challenge to remember. Whether things are breaking our way or we’re struggling through our day.
The current situation and circumstances are always temporary. No matter how we may define them – good or bad. As sure as the weather will never remain the same, so too will our scene.
We can always give our best efforts to change the tide if we don’t like what’s happening, but wherever we are, it won’t last.
In our ever-changing world, nothing remains forever. Maybe that will give us a bit of relief and/or help us to appreciate the here and now.
There is nothing in this world that we find precious in our lives, without the threat of it being lost forever in an instant.
