Life is surely multidimensional; the journey of life has not been described as straightforward. Many times, we encounter a lot of distractions, and there are times when our plans for life take a sudden turn, leading to a twist of fate. The unexpected or sudden occurrence might leave a great impact on one's life and direction.
To some people, they see life as a “do or die” affair; it's either they make it out by force or they just don't live on. They are ready to take any route just to make sure they accomplish their dreams or wants. No one is discouraging being ambitious, but it's best to know when greediness is getting into play.
Their greediness is what will become a reason for them to go beyond their limits and even to the extreme. Then, in the end, when everything turns out the negative way, they have a clearer view of their actions and consequences. That's when it would dawn on them that there is just a little or nothing in this life.
Simplicity is a key to a sustainable lifestyle.
On my end, I really aspire and admire to live a good life, a life where I won't have to stress myself that much before I get things, a soft way of livelihood, have happiness at the peak of my daily activities, and every other good thing a human will wish for in life.
But with time, I get to realize that there are some things in our lives that we don’t have the power to change. We are just destined to have them in our lives, our family, siblings, existence, and background. And there are some that we can make adjustments to. But at a certain stage of our lives.
There is a saying that “a fool at forty is a fool forever.” before forty years of age, you have the choice to pick a spouse, which will be a determinant to the type of kids you will bear, the choice to pick a career path, the choice to make friends and connections, the choice to dream and some others too.
With all this knowledge, I gradually escaped the stage where I had little or no choice but to relate with the people around me, live the life I found myself in, and the restriction to choices. I escaped that stage, and now I can make a choice of how I want my life to look.
Should I get so desperate for wealth?? Should I just live and keep my cool, accepting the little things that come my way? Or should I put in my best and try as much as I can to live in a simple way?
I pondered these choices a lot. In the end, I think I will have to pick one. A simple way of life where I won't have excess, but be content in the ones I have, not a full luxury, and not an extremely low life. I just want it in a way that I can declutter effectively, letting go of the ones that give me concern and burden, while living fine at the same time.
Nothing beats a simple way of life. I have come to understand that the more you chase, the more you are chased. If you tend to rush things, you are liable to get rushed along the line, which will eventually, at some point, make one lose focus. Taking it slow and steady yields better, and that has been a valid reason behind my growth over time.
