Day 6 SIMPLE: Reinventing the Wheel

Today was about Simple. It means not reinventing the wheel. I was thinking about all the seasons where I overcomplicated something to death. Cycles where the path was clear… and I still tried to create an obstacle.

Why? Because sometimes overcomplicating is avoidance.

If it’s this straightforward…If the path is lined up…If the Ten of Pentacles is literally a straight walk with a rainbow at the end…

Then our brain goes: What’s the catch? We’ve been trained to believe that if it’s simple, it must be a trap. But sometimes the only shortcut is doing it right the first time. Sometimes the proven method is the method. Sometimes the clear path is the path.

And the urge to make it harder is just fear trying to keep us safe.

So here’s the mirror for Day 6:

* What part of you is overcomplicating things to avoid being seen?

* What part of you believes everything has to be hard?

If something in this stirred you, download the Seen. Simple. Sustainable. Sovereign. Manifesto.

That’s where you’ll find deeper reflections to begin your own journey toward visibility that’s intimate, spiritual, and honest — without losing rest, humanity, or agency.

See you back in the House tomorrow.
