Simplify

Posted Mar 3, 2010 10:43 AM
"The truth is simple, if it were complicated then everyone would know it." Unknown

Our world seem to be getting more and more complicated. One path to inner peace is to simplify your life.

I ask myself: how much do I really need? how much is enough? what do I really need?

Sometimes I've found that when I simplify my life, pare down, eliminate the extras, I'm actually happier, freer, and more centered.

So, why all the focus of getting stuff and more stuff? I think it's easier to get stuff than to develop yourself.

It's easier to buy something than to go to the gym, or read a book, or volunteer. It's just the easy path.

The simple path is the more challenging one. But by far the more rewarding one.

Thank you for reading my blog and taking the time to add your thoughts. Honestly, that adds to my growth and development.

Brie, you are right on. You've given us a plan for a better life -- in just your few words !!

I can vouch for it working, as I've simplified my life way back... in stuff, in constant activities that ran my life like I was in a tornado (twisting, out-of-control)...Yes, I'm happier, freer, more centered, accomplish more, give back more... more rewarding by far!

May I add that simplification of our financial life is an important factor also. Refer to "Thrifty is Nifty" Community also.

Enjoy your simple, rewarding days.
