“My mom always told me to keep life as simple as a #2 pencil. Now, I’m paying the price for erasing her advice.” - Johnnie Williams III

Like the news we read, lots of the experiences we face or confront in life are repeated over and over.

-Relationship trouble

-Emotional stress

-Addictive situation/substances

-Decisions that must be made

All of these things, we’ve been through before and are still here – to bear witness that we are enough to get through it again. My mother was suggesting with this particular thought that we as a society can write chaos and confusion into our own life stories or something more pleasant and positive as long as we keep things simple.

In this season 2 episode, I also share a 5-point analogy using a pencil that you don’t want to miss.

Shed the unnecessary things
Sharpen yourself daily
Don’t break what cannot be fixed
You can’t erase very much
Re-sharpen yourself when getting dull

Ask Yourself:

What does your mom advise you to do, but you didn’t listen?

What if any were the consequences as a result?
