About

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”
-Confucius

Think Simple Now (TSN) is a personal development community with self-reflective stories from real people. Our mission at TSN is to empower each other to find inner clarity and fulfillment in an ever complex world filled with distractions and painful moments.

All our stories are extracted from real life—lessons and epiphanies to inspire and to remind us the important elements that make life beautiful.

No matter what you are going through, we want you to know that you are not alone. We can learn and grow and enhance the quality of living, together.

The Seattle PI called us “Motivational advice that’s actually applicable to daily life.” The Sydney Morning Herald said that we have “Practical pearls of wisdom to help you live your life happily.”

We are passionate about spreading happiness and are honored to be writing for our friends from over 200 countries.

Tina Su

Tina Su | Chief Happiness Officer

I am a mom, wife and digital CEO in Seattle. I used to be a software engineer. Now I spend my days creating, designing, and writing.

I started this site on a stroke of inspiration in the fall of 2007 to capture life lessons I’ve learned on my journey to self-understanding and personal growth.

In 2008, I left a six-figured corporate career from Amazon.com to have the mental space and time to travel, to think and to create online businesses that gave me freedom and fulfillment. It was a very scary time to cut out the security my job provided.

My vision was to “never work again”, by living a life following one’s inner calling, exploring one’s potential, generating massive value, and living fully in every moment. I’m happy to report that everything has worked out as planned.

Kayla Albert

Kayla Albert | President of Fulfillment

Kayla is a reformed introvert intent on following any path that offers fulfillment. For her this means being open to constant change and fully accepting anything life decides to place in front of her. She is a firm believer in monitoring one’s thoughts in order to create change in one’s life.

Kayla currently works as a community manager — living and breathing all things social media. On the side she dabbles in freelance writing, hoping some day to reach the masses with a book deal, or even just a well-loved blog post.

While planning is her forte, she doesn’t pretend to know what the future may hold. She’s looking forward to growing into the most authentic version of herself, finding new things along the way to be amazed at and grateful for. To her, that’s what life is all about.

Rebecca A. Watson | VP of Optimism

Rebecca is a fierce optimist who believes in the power of making life happen.

After realizing optimism doesn’t jive with journalism, she left newspaper to create her own brand of marketing through education and humor.

Balance and mindfulness are her latest pursuits, along with learning to knit. Read her blog for her latest enthusiastic (and sometimes witty) remarks.

Daniel Wong

Daniel Wong | Chief of Excellence

Daniel is passionate about anything related to maximizing education, career and life. His determined pursuit of personal growth began at the age of 19, when he realized that he had achieved many things, yet was not experiencing the fulfillment he desired. He likes to think of himself as a Realistic Idealist, and he is still in the process of figuring out exactly what that means in his day-to-day living.

In 2012, Daniel launched his first book, The Happy Student: 5 Steps to Academic Fulfillment and Success. This book aims to help young adults find new meaning and motivation in the pursuit of academic success. He blogs regularly at Living Large.

He currently lives in sunny Singapore and works as a Project Engineer.
