Daily Inspiration Quote by Caprice Bourret

It lands like a shrug aimed straight at our overcomplicated age: the world isn’t the problem, we are. Coming from Caprice Bourret - a model turned media personality and entrepreneur - the line reads less like a philosopher’s thesis and more like a survival tip from someone who’s watched “simple” get buried under public opinion, branding, and constant performance. The intent is blunt reassurance: step back, strip it down, stop dramatizing.

The subtext is where it bites. “Things are simple” is an aspirational claim, not a factual one; it’s the kind of sentence you say when you’ve had to manufacture clarity inside a system designed to monetize confusion. In celebrity culture, difficulty often isn’t the work itself, it’s the noise around it: scrutiny, gossip, image maintenance, the exhausting requirement to be legible to strangers. By shifting the blame to “us human beings,” Bourret makes the difficulty a choice - or at least a habit - rooted in ego, insecurity, and the urge to control outcomes.

The phrase also functions as a quiet rebuke to modern self-seriousness. It deflates the idea that complexity automatically equals depth, a seductive trap in wellness culture, hustle culture, even relationships. Its rhetorical strength is its plainness: no jargon, no grand theory, just a clean contrast between “things” and “us.” That simplicity is the point - it models the mindset it advocates, inviting the audience to feel how much relief can be created by editing the story we tell ourselves.
