Choosing Simplicity Is an Act of Courage
For a long time, I thought simplicity meant playing small. I thought if I said no, I would miss out. If I slowed down, I’d fall behind. If I didn’t chase every opportunity, I wasn’t serious about success. But over time, I learned something different. Simplicity isn’t the easy road. It’s actually the brave one. Choosing simplicity means saying no to things that look good but pull you away from what matters most. It means disappointing people who are used to you always being available. It means trusting that you don’t have to chase everything to live a full, meaningful life. And that kind of trust takes courage. Because the world rewards noise, hustle, and constant motion. But simplicity rewards clarity. With simplicity comes peace. Presence with the people you love. The ability to enjoy today instead of always postponing life for “someday.” Prosperity through simplicity isn’t accidental. It’s a decision you make — and then protect. Real success is available. But it doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from choosing what truly matters and having the courage to let the rest go. What is one thing you could simplify this year?
