To go for easy and simple, you’ll have to let go of everything in your life that is needlessly hard. More specifically, you’ll have to let go of everything you don’t truly want. 10x filters-out literally everything that isn’t 10x, which is most things in your life. If you’re willing to commit and let everything go that you don’t really want, then your life will be infinitely easier, simpler, and more successful than it’s ever been.

Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.

That my complicated life could be made so simple was astounding.

The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.

I thought it would be easier.

Despite its hardships, we oughta be thankful that we’ve been given the simplest possible instruction manual to a good life.

Exercise frequently—any exercise will do—, eat in moderation, meditate / pray, learn, share, spend time with friends & family…

But simple != easy

Easy was, like, spending time with Jennifer on set. Difficult stuff about character is, it was a little bit like just being the only one with no superhuman powers.

I propose that if you want a simple step to a higher form of life, as distant from the animal as you can get, then you may have to denarrate, that is, shut down the television set, minimize time spent reading newspapers, ignore the blogs.

Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.

It is simple to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and private gain. It is more comfortable to sit content in the easy approval of friends and of neighbours than to risk the friction and the controversy that comes with public affairs. It is easier to fall in step with the slogans of others than to march to the beat of the internal drummer - to make and stand on judgements of your own. And it far easier to accept and to stand on the past, than to fight for the answers of the future

Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit they teach you in school.

I think when you leave an open life where there is really no big secret or big scandal that you are afraid will be exposed to the public and will destroy your image, I think you can sleep easier at night

La vida es fácil si se vive un día, cada día, sin pensar en los ayeres ni afanarse por los mañanas

I only want an easy mind, sir; not crushed by crowded obligations.
