Simplification Is Not About Letting Go. It Is About This

Simplification is about what you want to achieve in your life. It is not about what you want to give away.

It is making things better. It is not about letting things go. It is about letting good things into your life. Yes, it can also be about letting bad things leave your life.

Yes, if you want to create room for growth, you have got to let some things leave your life.

You can simplify your life by being true to yourself. Because things are easier to manage when we are real to ourselves.

You can simplify your life by paying attention to what is not working for you. When you pay attention to what is not working, then you will know where to focus your resources.

Simplification is about making things better for yourself. It is letting go of bad friends, fake friends. It is about making room for growth in your life.

Simplification is about going back to what matters to you. When you are after what you love, when you are after what is important to you, you feel alive.

Before you go, remember this: ‘If you want to create a better life for yourself, you must simplify your life. If you want to get things done, more things done, spend more quality time with your loved ones, you have got to simplify your life.’

So what are you doing to simplify your life today?

Simplify Your Friendships

‘When you simplify your friendships, you are well on your way to leading a richer, fuller, more joy-filled life.’– Bill Hybels

Life is about people. It is about making the right connections. It is not about surrounding ourselves with the wrong people.

Follow great people. But stay away from the wrong ones. Why?

Because great people make you better. They make you bigger than you really are. If you are with people who are always taking from you, they are not the right ones for you.

If you are always giving, they are always taking, then you have got to look elsewhere for better people.

Be comfortable with who you are. Why is that important?

Because if you are not okay with yourself, you won’t be okay with others.
