Two Pillars For Great And Simple Life

From time to time, we tend to have a long list of "do's" and "don'ts". They become so long that they become imperative. But this isn't always the case and it can sometimes be a trap. We have to let go of the idea that more things we do will make us better. Sometimes, less is better. In order to be happy and successful, you should break these rules and try something new.

This blog post covers the two pillars that help a person live life great: happiness and simplicity. It also includes some tips on how to get rid of "the trap".

Here are two pillars of great life:

1. Find something you love to do and do it often.

It doesn't matter what it is. It could be reading, walking in nature, travelling, learning or eating. Simply put, it's the activity you choose to spend your time on and makes you happy. If you were free to do anything, what would you choose? If we are not busy with this thing we love doing, then we will be busy with something we don't love doing which leads us to the next pillar of great life which is…

2. Be "simple" in choice of things you do.

How can you be simple? By having a simple lifestyle. Simplicity is something we gain when we focus more on what matters more than the things that matter less. This is the key to happiness which brings us to the final, but most important point…

3. If you want to become truly happy and live a successful life, learn how to let go of what or who no longer matters to you.

It's ok to let go. It's ok to become happy. There are times you need to make a change, but it should not be the change that only happens because of the pressure or obligation, but because of a genuine reason. This is where we break my "rules" and do something different.

This is it! The final point in the list of best life lessons you can learn from these articles. It's simple and yet hard to accomplish, but with practice and patience, this is what we can achieve:

If we let go of some things that no longer matter to us, we are able to focus on what does actually matter (this is where simplicity comes in). By focusing on what matters, we become happy. By being happy, we spend time doing things we love which leads us to living a successful life.

I have often seen examples of people who don't own a house for example. Their reasoning can be many: "I bought a house but I don't live there", "I sold the house and bought another one soon after", but really their reason is that they are not in it. They are in their mind and because of this, they don't understand how important it is for them to be in a place where they are enjoying life.

The same metaphor applies to many other situations and opportunities we may have. By focusing on the things that matter, we can be happy. And by being happy, we cannot do anything else but leave those who or what no longer matters to us.

The fact is that for many of us, money is an important factor in our happiness. We work hard for it. We often don't spend it because we are saving up for something else or have already bought it, but we think about it regularly. The love of money is not what makes us happy; it's actually the other way around: happiness makes us love money more!

So here are 6 tips on how to become truly happy:

1. Stop thinking about money.

The idea of being financially free is great, but if you obsess over it, then you will never be able to "let go". It's much easier to let go when we don't think about something and the same goes for money. So stop thinking of ways to make more of it and start thinking how you can spend what you already have. If you do this, your love for money will increase which leads me to the second tip…

2. Spend it!

This is not how most people look at it and why they are unsuccessful in letting go. They think that spending more will lead them straight into debt which is true if they use the wrong approach to spending. What I mean is that the reason we create debt is not because we want more, but because we somehow think that it will give us power, security or will bring us happiness.

The only way to know if money is giving you power or happiness is to stop spending it. Think of something else, do what you love and then after a while, ask yourself if money still gives you these feelings. If not, then money has given you something else and you don't need it anymore. If it's still the same, then that's what you need!

3. Know how to let go of things and people who no longer matter to you.

How do you know if something is no longer important? Is it when it becomes unimportant or when it stops mattering? You'll never know if you're not letting go. But I am sure most of our readers have gone through this point in their lives in one way or another and here are some tips on how to do it:

Don't let your emotions sway your decision. Your emotions may be telling you that this person or thing is important, but this isn't necessarily true. Sometimes your emotions may be telling you that this person or thing is wrong for you, when in reality, it's exactly the opposite! Don't use money or other material things as criteria to decide if something is still important. They may let you down or don't give you happiness. It may be buying a new car that makes you happier than working harder at your job or buying a house that doesn't save you money.

Learn to trust yourself and remember that everyone else does this too; I know because I am having the same struggle myself when it comes to finding out if something is truly important.

Conclusion

I believe in this approach. Happiness is what makes us truly successful and it's a great tool for living a great life. If you can learn to spend less time thinking about money, and more time loving what you are doing, you will live a life that is truly fulfilling.

I don't think many people who say they want to be rich really do. They want the freedom it gives them; they want the comfort (which leads to happiness) it provides; they want their life to be better because of the abundance (not necessarily the amount of money) which in turns leads them to fulfilment.
