A couple of weeks ago, I shared this thought to ponder: Simplicity is the seed of compounding complexity. Managing it wisely is shark-proof living.
 
We all know how complexity can feel like a snowball rolling downhill. If it is left unchecked, it grows until it becomes unmanageable.
 
This week I have been thinking in reverse. What if the fish is rolling that snowball uphill?
Our lives in every area are built on blocks we carry forward. How often do we stop long enough to shed a few of those blocks and reclaim simplicity?
 
These are the same themes I explore in Sharkproof Living, the book I recently released on Amazon. If complexity has been weighing on you, the book goes deeper into concepts on how to untangle it within the personal finance domain.
