What if Life Were Simple?

Posted on 11. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I was watching the movie Forrest Gump last night and it got me thinking, why do we make things so complex?  Life is really simple if we let it be.

Again and again throughout his life, Forrest takes the simple and direct approach to whatever he encounters.  He does not spend his energy explaining or justifying his actions.  Nor does he dwell on the “what ifs” that many of us find ourselves paralyzed by every day.  He just does it and it usually works out.

I have set the intention to be honest with myself about my next steps in business and life. Everything from creating new products and that they will have value, to not drinking alcohol and eating better. Things are changing. But not really. I am just letting the true me come forward. It surprises me at times.

I am not sure what my diet will end up consisting of, but it is clearly shifting. I am a little worried about how it will appear to others. Again pre-judging others for me.
