Simplicity Is The Most Profound Discussion You Can Have.

–Colors are colors regardless of their difference

Simplicity is the most profound discussion you can have.

Any master of a discipline can break the most complex topic down to its simplest form. Anyone determined to keep it complex isn’t trying to teach you — they’re trying to feel valuable through the information they withhold.

As Accountable Relationship Builders, our goal is to help people master the people in their lives. That means being able to break each other down to our simplest form. Anyone working to stay complex isn’t trying to connect. They’re placing value in staying disconnected. They prefer walls over faith.

So they hold back.

Simplicity is the most profound discussion you can have.

You acted. So discuss your actions with the people closest to your heart. Sounds simple, right? It is. But we’re afraid of simplicity, so we make it complex. We hold it in for days, weeks, months, years — collecting anxiety and living on borrowed time. We end up in more of a relationship with the omission than with the actual person.

That new relationship with anxiety will earn you a movie or a streaming series. It will never earn you an accountable, supportive, healthier relationship.

So have the discussion. Your people may appreciate your honesty, because you gave them a choice. Maybe they dislike you in the moment. But it still lets them weigh your value in their life with open eyes.

“The truth will set you free” — not from the consequences of your actions, but free to start the redemption process.

Simplicity is the most profound discussion you can have.

Be a master of all your relationships by keeping them simple. Build agreements and principles every person can honor long-term.

• Before you act, think about how it affects the relationship — and whether you’re willing to live with the consequences.
• Check in daily, building a pattern of consistency and dependability.
• Keep no topic off-limits. Life is happening, and open communication is what lets people make informed choices.
• Establish four core values that govern the relationship. In a forever-changing world, holding each other accountable is how we always know where home is.

So ask yourself: Am I a master of my relationships?

If the answer is yes, then you’re already having the most profound discussions — because simplicity comes naturally.
