Ten years from now, make sure that you can say that you chose your life, you didn't settle for it

What is a simple life?
I guess it’s one of those questions that will differ for different people. But I think some common elements are a part of them all. Here is my take on simplicity.

Keep Life Simple. It's Much Easier to Defeat Your Enemies.

When you have decided what contributes to your happiness and fulfilment more than following your calling or purpose, you’re living a simple life.
You expected more, didn’t you?
Simplicity, Gentle Readers, that’s what it’s about.

Living a simple life has to be a philosophy because there are so many things around actively trying to derail a Life of simplicity.
Life can overtake you if you let it.
I was able to simplify my life because of my writing. I dread to think what I’d be like without the focus it afforded me. I realise now it’s about clarity. Knowing who you are and what you’re about. If you let it, living an uncomplicated existence can be challenging, especially with a family and work.

Having goals helps you to clarify your purpose and simplify your life.

Being a bestselling author is one of my goals, and how I live my life revolves around that.

My days are filled with five major tasks:

Work, writing, exercising, side hustle, family and cooking.

And below are the 4 considerations I carry with me daily so I can achieve my five significant tasks.

Health

How can you lead an inspiring life if you’re lethargic or sick? When you invest in your foundational health, it will pay you back. I’m not saying having a healthy mindset and doing all you can for your well-being will exempt you entirely from illness, but it’s the best we can do. Eat well, exercise and protect your mental health. It’s in your hands.

Uncluttering.

I’m getting good at this, and it’s so refreshing when your desk is organised, your bed is made, your closet tidy, and your bookcase neat. I have more peace of mind when everything has its place, and there’s a place for everything. The most powerful benefit to clearing out the clutter in your life is the clarity of thought it affords you. My productivity always goes up.

Savouring

Our minds have an extraordinary ability to remember sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings. We can savour pleasurable experiences and lock away the positive memories so we can recall them later, especially when we are struggling.

Small moments matter. Collect them. Cherish them. Honour them. And, most importantly, share them. Your tales are meant to be told. I consider myself blessed to be able to tell them to you.

Gratitude

Be grateful for what you have but never be satisfied. Choose to be thankful rather than complaining about every challenge you encounter and look for solutions, not ruminating over the problem.

I use these four ideas to remind me not to complicate my life. Keep it simple. Implement them regularly, and your life will be better because of it.

Keep it simple.

Keep it honest.

And keep it real.

Be your own hero.
