Simplicity in life

“ Simplicity is an attractive quality. Those who remain simple and clear in how they think, interact and live their lives attract others to be the same. Greatness is revealed through being simple."

DISILLUSIONED by life in the fast lane, thousands are now choosing to simplify their lives. They feel materialism has got them nowhere and prefer to take a back seat and live a life free from stress.
In spite of the advancement of science and technology, are we any more peaceful and happy than we were some years ago? These days, there is a lot of fear and uncertainty. That is why it is important to live a simple and honest life.
Simplifying our lifestyle is a return to spirituality. There is a need in us for simple truths, simple insights, simply expressed and simply understood.
In simplicity, there is inner beauty, purity and clarity. Truth is always simple and profound. The words and actions of a person who treasures simplicity are straight-forward and transparent and such a person becomes a model for others to emulate. He is unswayed by shallow desires and, hence, free from greed.
Complications seem to be inevitable by-products of modern living. Simplicity gives birth to inspirations.
By maintaining a balance of living simply yet comfortably, and only using what I really need of the earth’s resources, I will always have an abundance in my life.
