Leonardo Da Vinci once said,
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Nothing makes me happier than simplifying things. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy the Container Store, iPhone apps, and label makers.
While that’s true for many of us, we also seem to crave MORE. More friends, more possessions, and more work.
Yet what makes us happy is never those things that fall into the “more” category. The over-indulgence is what blocks us from seeing ourselves as we truly are or dealing with situations are they currently are.
Instead, we project, we futurize, and we distract.
For many, the thought of cutting back may send us into an instant panic, thinking, “I don’t want to live like a monk!” But, when we dig a little deeper we see that simplicity is where we find our true happiness and peace.
The good news is that we don’t have to continue to keep our minds and lives overly cluttered!
