“Better learn balance. Balance is key.”

Now say it like Mr. Miyagi in Karate Kid, it’s only appropriate since that’s where the quote comes from.

“Better learn balance. Balance is key.”

I’m not the student Danielson was, I struggle particularly with this practice.

So, I’ve found my own modern day Mr. Miiyagi, Yoda-type master of zen, it’s this guy.

My husband and I are currently working through his “Simple Living Manifesto: 72 Ideas to Simplify Your Life”.  If that sounds too intense, he has a short version consisting of 2 steps and here they are:

   “The Short List:

1. Identify what’s most important to you
2. Eliminate everything else.”

For those of you who find those 2 steps to be all the instruction you require, go forth and simplify.  For the rest, may the force be with us.
