Simple vs. Easy

There are a lot of things in life that are SOOO simple.  Why is it that so many simple things are NOT easy?

• Simple: Reading an hour a day
• Simple: Prayer and Bible Study for 30 minutes day
• Simple: Listen to people when they are talking to me
• Simple: Turn off the computer, TV, whatever, to focus on people
• Simple: Post to my blog 3 or more times a week
• Simple: Keep big blocks of empty time on my calendar
• Simple: Handle everything in my mailbox every day (get it to zero)
• Simple: Maintain a prioritized list of projects so we can focus on the most important things first

I'm sure you could add a lot more to the "simple" list.  Now...how many of these are easy?

Want to add to the complexity:  Which of these things are compelling?

Good post. Goes along with the Sunday School I have been leading on discipleship. Mind if I steal?

Steal? *Borrow* all you want -- there's not much that's very unique here. Better, ADD TO IT! Thanks,
