Take Control Of Your Life Organically.

Lots of things are logically straight forward in life, actually pretty simple.

However this is not to say they are easily accomplished or achievable.

We need self-control, self-discipline, consistent action and patience to successfully get to our desired end point.

As humans we have the tendency to over complicate things.

Hence we end up stuck in a loop, going round in circles for years if not decades.

I came across this quote that illustrates my point beautifully;

“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.”

Edsger W. Dijkstra

When we find things too simple we get bored easily and when overly complex confusion kicks in.

Take the middle ground.

Keep your approach simple and with each executable iteration of your plan, make it a step more challenging.
