“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.”
“Our life is frittered away by detail… simplify, simplify.”
“The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
“Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.”

Yes, it requires wisdom to simplify complicated things. If something is too complicated and you can’t simplify it, can’t explain it in simple words, then you haven’t grasped it.
In fact, most of those who have the wisdom to understand what they want in life would retire early. It’s because they don’t know what they want that they continue whatever others do or they themselves have been doing years without knowing where the destination is.
Things can be simplified by, first, classifying your goals into sectors: Finance, Family, Health, Knowledge, Business/Career/Work, Social, Fun and Spiritual.
