The Phrase That Pays

JD – Must be the crystals in the atmosphere. – Nick Glimsdahl

EB – Sometimes I just wanna sue some dudes pants off just so I can put them on and take a selfie and post it to FaceBook. #hopethatdudehaslongjohns #coldweathergoosebumps #dudelookslikealady #arethosepinkundies?

JW – Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. – Albert Einstein

MS – Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God, do you learn. – CS Lewis

The Albert Einstein quote above hit me as I struggle with this one.

I tend to get a little over-analytical and overthink things.

Sometimes thing really need to be made more simple, not over analyzed.

The real wisdom in the quote is the recognition of the other side of the coin.

Some things are inherently complex and take a lifetime to figure out. That’s why I think God came up with the scheme of being married for the rest of your life. It takes that long to “figure out” your spouse. (I know, I am full of hilarious jokes).

Next time you are worrying about or over-analyzing something, just ask yourself this question:

Have I made this as simple as possible and not any simpler?

Remove the clutter from your thought process.

Make it a great day.
