Simplifying

Do we all live complicated lives? Maybe, at least for me , I think I do

Modern humanity as per Switchfoot ... too much noise... too much clutter... to much excess... too many choices... faster, bigger and better NOW!!!

Read this book that caused me to rethink my life - The Overload Syndrome "Learning to live within your limits". Its a very necessary and humbling and extremely practical book. Its a timeless book. A book that worth many re reads.

Through it, I carved a time to rest, created space to heal. Learnt that it was OK to have limits and live with them yet not being restricted by them. I've learnt to streamline, reduce, cut down, organise, be disciplined and even downgrade. So anti today's culture of getting more more and more!

"Consumption constrains us and simplicity frees us". What wisdom.
