A Week of Struggling for Simplicity - Change Your Character – Forrest Gump – “Simple Is as Simple Does”

No matter what you think of the character, Forrest Gump’s approach to the simplicity of life found him at the center of most major events of the second half of the twentieth century. When striving to simplify some of your complex problems, it would be interesting to see what possibilities would emerge by applying his outlook. Try it, seeking three new ideas from each of these perspectives that Forrest Gump applies:

  • Listening to his mother’s advice
  • Not having a lot of expectations
  • Being open to new experiences
  • Seeing all people the same, without prejudice
  • Not making demands on others
  • Not being judgmental
  • Finding the good in negative situations
  • Maintaining a positive outlook
  • Being loyal to his friends
  • Following simple philosophical principles
  • Doing the basics that make a significant impact
  • Being good hearted and generous
