Simple or not?

What is simplicity?

Does it truly mean that we have to give up our material wants? Does it mean that we have to be simple and just make do with what we have?

To me, simplicity means to be truly simple, not even thinking about the preceding questions. There isn’t a way to achieve simplicity. It basically means to be free to pursue and do whatever that is you want that makes you truly happy.

Simplicity is never about a process or steps to follow before you fall into the mold of simple. Simplicity is as what the word suggests, being simple, being yourself. It is about not worrying about what the general public or the world thinks is good or right. It is about what you think is right for you, to pursue things you love to achieve at any particular time.

Simply put, it means living your own life.

A little on happiness

Just something that I have just recently shared in Instagram (@damian_wanderer). Happiness is something that many, if not all, of us are striving for. Ironically, the more we strive and think we are working hard towards, the more it eludes us. So in the next few weeks, I am going to share more on happiness, my take on it, my experience with it and how my journey has brought me closer to it.

So here goes the little piece of happiness that was shared in my Instagram.

Happiness comes from awareness. Awareness can inspire many positive changes to one’s life and those around him/her.

You become aware that too much sugar is bad. You become aware that exercise does not have to be scary or time consuming. You become aware that health leads to confidence and then happiness. You become aware that happiness leads to positive living which means inspiration to others.

That is the beauty of life. Nothing is ever wasted. Your success is someone else’s fuel. That is the circle of life. Like how a dead plant becomes a fertilizer to new sprouts, we too can make a difference in our own journeys.

We are all in this world together. The key to real happiness is when we celebrate and inspire another towards happiness, towards their goals and towards their true purpose in life.

Till the next post, smile freely. That’s the least and easiest thing we can do towards truly feeling happy.
