Ditch The Crazy World and Keep it Simple

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

During the Great Pandemic Pause, most folks found themselves in a simpler world. 

With a few exceptions, everything was slower. There was more time in the day. The rush of what used to be our day-to-day seemed distant. 

Is that such a bad thing?

When the storm passes, as we reignite our lives, why not consider lessons from a few smart people of the past.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." ~ Leonardo da Vinci

"Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated." ~ Confucius

"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook." ~ William James

"Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough." ~ Charles Warner

I like it simple. Simple works.
