Struggle for simplicity

There are moments in my life where I find a comfort in the thought of a simplistic lifestyle. I feel a pulling toward  a calmer and more relaxed state thinking of all the the areas where I can begin to simplify and reduce the noise.

Then, there is a pull in the other direction. It comes from a fear that others might not appreciate the same level of simplicity and would only get discouraged.

 In the tug of war, the complexity of relationships has been stronger than the pursuit of simplicity.

Leadership influence

In sports everyone plays a position, but there are times when each position must react to the game and influence the play by playing a different position than what they are listed as on the roster.

No matter what your position is, influence is key.
