Simplify Your Life
The movement to Simplicity is growing in the world, particularly among the more affluent. Consider: THE PROBLEM Mental, emotional and physical health to some degree all depend on your lifestyle - healthy culture = healthy, happy people. Affluence tends to lead towards excess, and away from health and happiness. This is because excess is deadly. Look at the growing waistlines in the US (obesity epidemic) coupled with the increasing rates of cancer, heart disease, depression, violence, etc. The problem is that affluent countries tend be consumer-based. There can be no profit until someone buys. Consumer-based countries encourage advertising and raw capitalism to entice people to consume as much as possible. We are directed to consume like cattle in a feed lot. THE QUESTION Why do we need all of this stuff? After years of tv programming and raw capitalism, the average American (the US is the wealthiest consumer-based economy) feels that consumption (buying stuff) is a good thing. Americans actually feel an unnatural desire to consume without end. When cells in the body consume without end, we label them cancer.Cancer is a disease of excess. How can we get happy and healthy? THE SOLUTION In order to solve any problem, you must solve the root cause. The root of this excess is NOT affluence (money is NOT the root of evil). The root of evil is the unhealthy culture. If you change the culture, you will change yourself and your life. THE CHANGE Simplify your life - choose quality over quantity - take only as much as you need - save or share the rest. Look around at your life and environment, and get rid of the things you don't need. Spend your money consciously on high quality food and "stuff." Have fun - seek happiness. Simplifying your life will bring you more joy and a lighter heart (physically and emotionally). Why be a slave to your possessions? Why be a slave to your habits? Why be a slave to consumption? Take charge of your life, and live consciously and not as programmed cattle. Get simple and get happy.
"Peace, Joy, Abundance"
