The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We
have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important
and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on
activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the
outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of
what's going on outside.
