Less is more

99-SECOND READ

'The secret of happiness is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.'

Socrates



Consider the idea this week that less can lead to more, in so many ways.


Right now, my partner and I are living out of our backpacks and chasing the sun across the Balkans. We have less, yet we are experiencing more in so many ways.


So, I am particularly mindful of today's messages:   


  • Focusing on less allows you to achieve more
  • Wanting less allows you to be more content 
  • Having less allows you to appreciate your things more 
  • Doing less allows you to consider more 
  • Working less allows you to live more 
  • Worrying less allows you to be more at peace
  • Reading less allows you to absorb more 

And so... writing less in this newsletter, will allow you to learn and reflect more.


Consider how choosing less in some areas of your life could benefit you.

'I had a true breakthrough session with Simon. In just our first session together, he was able to identify the root fears blocking me and through his thought-provoking questions helped me come up with a solution to break that pattern.


I wasn't expecting this level of breakthrough in my first session with him, but was very pleasantly surprised! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to help unlock your highest potential!'
