A brilliant psychiatrist that I once worked with would often say, “a simple mind is a happy mind.” I think back to this piece of advice when life seems too complicated, and the world’s problems seem too large. Instead of adding to the disarray, it seems like a good time to find the ground beneath my own feet and do the things I can do; To offer solace to a stranger, a neighbor, and myself. –Guri
