This is your sign to stop, close your eyes, now feel.
Sometimes less is more. In fact, it almost always is.
We so easily dismiss the simple joys because we forget there is joy in them at all. Waking up slow and easy. A morning book. Moments of uninterrupted presence with someone you love or a minute of silence with yourself.
Just you. Only you.
In running after what we want, we overlook what we have; the things we once wanted before we got them and took them for granted, and the ones it feels like we’ve always had but deep down we know we can’t keep.
Breath. Health. Time. Life. It’s all borrowed — gifted freely, mercifully — and it will all be taken back.
The things that matter beyond a shadow of a doubt are always simple and yet extraordinary, fleeting but somehow timeless. In our search for more, we forget the power of less and how the two are intertwined.
Less things to do means more time to be. Less distraction means more clarity and greater calm.
We all know that not enough of certain things leads to suffering, but the same is true for more. When we begin living only in pursuit and never in presence — never with peace — it is a sign that our problem isn’t in wanting too little but needing too much.
