Simplify It.

As I mentioned in my last post, this week is always a crazy busy one if you are a student. As I was trying and struggling to write one of the four papers I have due this week, I had to take a break. I needed some inspiration, something to get me through the pile of assignments that I had to do. I quickly scanned my Quote board on Pinterest (yes I'm addicted) and came across the above quote. "Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be". I knew right then that that is exactly what I was doing. Complicating everything. I was over thinking the assignment. I had it all figured out, I just needed to write it up.

This can apply to everything, not just assignments. I know I definitely over-think things, or over-analyse situations. And to what effect? It doesn't do anything but stress me out. Why must we try to understand every little thing, every detail? Mystery is good, let's not complicate everything and accept rather, that we can't understand every detail. My point is, next time you're stressed out take a step back, look at the bigger picture and ask yourself "Am I making this more complicated than it needs to be?"

You may surprise yourself. You may find that life is really quite simple, with the occasional dash of hardship.

Smile, Laugh, Give, Love, Dance, Accept, Forgive, and Grow.
