It’s so simple to see the root cause of the issues others face, and yet those issues you’re most acquainted with… your own… are a mental obstacle course. It’s easier with other people because you don’t know all the little things, you only know the executive, or obvious summary. Maybe, if I weeded out the unnecessary in my life my own issues would appear more straightforward. Too bad it’s not as simple as it sounds… weeding your own life. These are no plugs of grass in unwanted places… these are roots, daily growing deeper, wider, and more entangled with those things I wish not to remove from my life.

I mean, I live with a big heart and I live with a big head (seriously, look at my baby picture), but I still live small.  And, don’t get me wrong.  There is a place in everyone’s life for small, simple living.  And I’m not sure that place can’t be the same place one leads a large life.  But I am sure I need to connect the dots of my thoughts, my dreams, my capabilities, and my reality.
