One thing I can assure you, life is not easy, but it can be simple. Focus on what's important and don't let your distractions derail you.

About This Quote

The writer of this quote, Dr. George Sheehan, is a Canadian psychiatrist based in Minneapolis. He was known for his work on life stressors and the effects they can have on mental health. His entire career was devoted to helping people who were struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. He wrote this advice in response to a letter from a woman named Susan who complained that “life is hard” and that she had “no idea how things work around here” when it came to getting things done.

She felt that she wasn’t good enough at her job, not smart enough to get ahead, and she had absolutely no sense of direction for her future. Dr. Sheehan wanted her to know that things could be much easier if she just took a step back and focused on what’s truly important in life: what you value most and how you want it to go.
