In the journey of simplicity and personal growth, we often chase external solutions. New apps, life hacks, self-improvement strategies. But most of the transformation happens through something far more subtle: the relationships we cultivate. Not all connections are created equal.

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.”—Bruce Lee How can…

I read somewhere that expectations and attachments lead to disappointments and suffering. Worrying does not solve any problem in the world and if it did we wouldn’t be getting pimples from stress. There is a huge difference between being productive and being busy; it’s like working smart versus working hard. We can’t control what’s going on…
