The point of simple living, for me has got to be:

A soft place to land

A wide margin of error

Room to breathe

Lots of places to find baseline happiness in each and every day

The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.

Instead of focusing on how much you can accomplish, focus on how much you can absolutely love what you’re doing.

The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.

Simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.

There is a better way to do it; find it. sign Thomas Edison had hanging in his office A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back. Proverbs Joy can be real only if people look upon their lives as an opportunity to be of service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.
