Today’s Quote: “The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.” – Ulysses S. Grant

Today’s Question: Do you have problems following simple directions?

My Thoughts: Bob Newhart was in a funny skit on TV where he plays a psychiatrist who yells “Stop it!” to a client in a session that he insists will only last five minutes. Funnier that the overly simple advice was the client’s inability to get that something so simple was possible. And that is our problem very often. Simple solutions seem like impossible tasks. Simple directions look like complicated battle plans. But they are not. They really are just as simple as they are presented. Why are simple directions so hard to follow?

  1. Sometimes we tend to think things are harder or more complex than they have to be, so it makes following simple directions that much more complicated. Look at the fact, that God says to follow his commandments and put him first and everything else will fall into place. How simple is that, but do we do it?
