Simplified Meaning:
When you do something you love and you are good at it, it feels amazing. Think of painting a picture. If you know what you want to paint (clarity), you have the right tools and skills (strength), and you keep your design simple, the painting looks beautiful and the process feels great. This idea can apply to many things in life, like playing a sport, writing, or cooking. If you are clear about your goal, use your skills well, and don’t overcomplicate things, you will enjoy what you do more and often do it better. Embrace these three elements to feel happier and perform better in your favorite activities.
