Less is More!

Less is More!

  • The less crap you buy, the more space you got. The less you spend, the more money you save. The less time you spend on social media, the more time you get to read and act. The less stress you get, the better sleep you get. Less is More! It’s a simple principle.

  • Do you know what happens when you stop talking? The other person starts talking. After all, everybody loves to talk. So say less and listen more because wisdom listens when knowledge speaks.

  • Don’t be a person of too many words. What if you want to impress others? DON’T. A person needs to stand on their own  and not overdress their thoughts with more additional fine language just to make others like them.

  • Don’t say too much and get yourself out of an opportunity.  That applies to everything from your job interviews to dating. Efficient communication is the key. So, get to the point and keep it simple.

  • Our world is driven by consumerism, where we always need more and never have enough. There are so many choices available these days that it gets too much. Understand that not everything you can buy will make you happy and secure. So, be confident and comfortable with less and gain clarity, focus, and more space in your life.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
