SIMPLICITY

Simple living flies in the face of the common values of the Western world. Living simply entails stripping away the nonessential and focusing your time and energy on the things that matter the most. Extravagance is often a picture of an unsatisfied life. When you simplify, you’re left with a life filled with meaning, a life that is lived on your own terms. You have the time and space to pursue your interests and to create the life you truly desire. It is often in the most simple things that we find true happiness. Simplicity will make you more open-minded. Once you see how easy it is, and how much happier you are living an unconventional lifestyle, you will become more open to change, uncertainty, and new ways of improving your life and the lives around you.The truth is that simplicity is almost always best because, when focusing on simplicity, your creative work becomes easier to understand, easier to recognize, easier to use (if it requires usage), easier to expand upon (if necessary), and downright easier to create. Simply put: simplicity makes things easy. To my knowledge, there is not a single person on this entire planet who doesn’t like things that are easy to use, easy to understand, or easy to make. When you want to be creative, wouldn’t you like your inspiration to be simple and understandable? Keeping things simple is a great creative principal because it makes things easier. That’s not to say, however, that simplicity is always the best route to take when creating something. The principal of keeping something extremely simple is only a recommendation, and if it won’t work for a specific project (say, you need to make something that has a lot of features), then utterly simplifying isn’t the route for you. Still: removing unnecessary features and attributes is a great way to simplify your creativity, and make things easier. And because simpler things are easy to remember, I’m going to make this post a simple one and end it right here. It’s that easy Simplicity provides many surprising benefits: 1. Your finances improve 2. You naturally avoid overreacting\ 3. You strengthen your health 4. Your relationships become deeper and more meaningful 5. Simplicity and freedom go hand in hand 6.
