When simplifying doesnβt work, simplify, simplify, simplify.
Letting go is not difficultβprocessing loss is.
The hardest boxes to unpack are the ones other people put you in.
The peace of letting go eclipses the pain of clinging.
Simplifying divides your inputs and multiplies your focus.
Every identity is a false identity.
Joy is never acquiredβit is uncovered.
Guilt is a story about differing expectations.
Success is a mental illness.
