The Living Journal – Living Simplicity

Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple, A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person. For me, it means eliminating all but the essential, avoiding chaos for peace, and spending your time doing what’s important to you. 
It means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love. It means getting rid of the clutter so you are left with only that which gives you value.
However, getting to simplicity isn’t always a simple process. It’s a journey, not a destination, and it can often be a journey of two steps forward and one backward. Imagine, how could you walk freely and comfortably when you are carrying a 100 pounds of baggage with you? So Imaging how about in life when you are carrying so much of burdens? 
So think carefully, can money buy you happiness? To live a simple life, doesn't mean that you are giving up anything you have once owned, but rather live our life with a truly meaningful, positive, and with a healthy generosity lifestyle.
Many people always asked themselves, how much wealth is enough for me ?
How much wealth do I need indeed ? 
How much money do I need to invest ?
What is my lunch for today? 
French cuisine or Chinese ?

When a poor one came to you asking for a few dollars , but you chase them away, because they don't worth a cent or kindness from you.

When your final moment has arrived, Do you think you still own all these? 
* Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status. 
* Stop trying to impress others with your stuff and start trying to impress them with your life.
* Develop  a habit of being generosity for the less fortunate
* Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated 
  [Famous quotes by Confucius] 
* I learned to give not because I have many, but because I know exactly how it feels to have nothing.
* Don’t you hate how your hair always looks nicer at your home than when you are out?
* My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness- [Famous quotes by His Holiness Dalai Lama]

You decide and you responsible the lifestyle you want it to be – a chaotic or a simplicity
