How to simplify your life and find pure joy.
The bottom line is that we can simplify life by cutting down on the busywork that keeps us off purpose. We can turn away— listen to the calling. Which is what? We feel “miserable.” Which means we are miserable where we are right now—true? So what’s the complete opposite of miserable? Pure joy! So you simply STOP, turn around, and smile as you move in a whole new direction! We must curtail such activities and listen to Spirit, staying aware of joy and how simple it is to access.

You don’t have to prove that you’re a genius, nor do you need to compare any of your accomplishments to those of others.
