Robert Brault once said, “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” He captures one of the main ideas of Simplicity. By simplifying your life, you are able to be present in the little moments that may seem unimportant to others. Keeping a simpler life requires a little bit of work and discipline.
Do you remember the last time your family had a pleasant, conversational dinner together; where you all sat down, talked about your day, and didn’t feel rushed to finish your meal because of other commitments? When was the last time your after school and weekend time was totally free; where you had nothing else to do except hang out with your friends? The best strategy to keep this type of lifestyle would be to create a filter inside of your mind; to prioritize the important things and the not-so-important things, and to have the ability to say “no”. With simplicity in mind, you have the power to control the amount of free time you have, inside and outside of school. This approach will further simplify your life.
Being simple is not an easy task. It requires lots of focus and determination in order to achieve a generally stress-free and meaningful way of life. This week’s query is: How can we keep simplicity in our minds outside of school?
