The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.

We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a "pet" notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.

of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives
and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement
for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as
the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget
that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on
outside.
