Simplify Your Life

By Staff Report

Oct. 1, 1999

This weekend a friend told me about a “Stone Soup” comic strip he read. In the first frame, a dog was pictured running after a ball, while a caption showed the dog’s thoughts: “Ball! Ball! Ball!”


In the second frame, the dog ran after food, with the caption showing the dog thinking “Food! Food! Food.”


In the third frame, a young boy turned to his mother, and asked, “What’s the secret to life?” She wasn’t sure, but the dog was.


“Simplify,” the dog thought to himself.


Certainly, life can be a bit more complicated than just a tennis ball and a dog dish. But focusing on the things most simple—and most important—to you can improve your outlook.
