Trying To Live Simply

[West_end]

Making a point to always try to live simply. I don't need a lot of stuff. Society makes us think we do, but I don't. I don't have a lot of money but I get by just fine.

 

I'm able to pay the bills, eat pretty healthily, get myself a few things here and there. I don't buy into technology, wasting money on iPads, smartphones & stuff that is not needed.

 

I like living this way because I'm rarely ever stressed out worrying if I'm going to have enough money or something. I've made my life simple and never been happier.

 

There're others who spend their lives trying to get the better job title, making more money, wishing for more money, buying huge homes with space they don't use and struggling to pay the house payments.

 

Buying 'new and better' cars, filling their closets with clothes, shoes, buying 'better' tvs. Filling their homes with stuff and more stuff... they've the high when it first happens, then it goes away and they're depressed again. They're always wanting more, thinking the next thing will be the thing to make them happy again.

 

They spend their time on looks. They spend their time trying to keep from being 'bored' by constantly watching tv, stay on the computer, texting, tweeting...

 

I've seen people who can't do nothing for five minutes, they have to take out their phone and play with it. They have no clue how to be alone with their true selves.

 

It is sad what these people miss out on.

It is but a choice that one has to make to relaly live simply. Yes, we can definitely do this, but how many can really let go?

must ask the question: Who am I?

[Tigerwoods]

West End,

It is hard to explain to Sporeans about living simply.

To someone Living Simply is, a Mulitmillionaire, who has an iPad, drives an expensive Cabrio, living in a GCB, owning Country Club memberships, sailing in his own yacht, and draped in fine linen as compared to Multibillionaire who has a diamond studded iPad, chauffeured in a Bentley, living in a castle, owning Country Clubs, sailing in his Ocean Liner and draped in Finest Linen.

The correct question is What is my purpose on earth?

Is to simply live.

It is all about the level of contentment of each individual's lot.

It can be a blessing to reach a stage where $$$ or material wealth is no longer a priority.

Have a nice and weekend!
