Chasing money V's living your life
Simple living helps us stay away from the rat race, to pursue a life to live to our own freewill, and a lifestyle that values time, relationships and personal fulfilment over material success and societal expectations.
To appreciate the value of money
The speed you make the money is the value you put on it. Knowing what to do with it, is from years of hard work that gives it value to do great things.
Possible key changes:
- Identify your priorities and values. To clarify what's important to you.
- Owning fewer things, and having minimal debt or no debt, reduces the pressure and stress of working long hours and gaining time.
- Spending time in nature and preparing your own meals not only costs less, but is good both mentally and physically.
"The day you stop racing is the day you win the race" - Bob Marley
Work just enough to fund your lifestyle ‘Mini-Retirements’
An ongoing lifestyle of joy, travel, passion, being in nature and hobbies that don’t need much money. Away from a lifestyle of sitting on the sofa or a flashy lifestyle that is stopping you, by keeping you trapped in the rat race.
It takes less money and time than you think to fund it, you don’t need a million pounds to live the lifestyle you want.
We spend all our life working and getting deeper in debt, and not living the life we want - The life we have been sold!
Quotes By Henry David Thoreau
"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it". ― Henry David Thoreau
"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone." ― Henry David Thoreau
"Simplify your life. Don't waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. Don't burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. Don't destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!" ― Henry David Thoreau
Avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose, or you don't have enough money.

Money is part of our lives
But doing what you are doing, just for the sake of making money. You are doing it for the wrong reason.
Life is more enriching with less processions - Living within your own means, according to your own values and beliefs.
Spiritual View
"We are becoming aware of what enslaves us and what we can do to get away from it." - Must be good.
Necessity of life is minimal & we will be happy to contribute for others to exist.
So you can live life to your own freewill, that makes sense to you. You have to do it, to realise it works.
Be true to yourself and go in the right direction: Give, more than you take.
Keep It Simple View
Live as a simple being or you will never be satisfied.
Travel teaches you; You don’t need much to truly appreciate life.
The less things you own, the less time you need to work, to earn the money to maintain and house those things. ...The trap that holds you back.
“Money is numbers. And numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end.” ― Bob Marley

Perpetual means one step at a time, that goes on forever. Set yourself up to have stability in your life to evolve and have the opportunity.

By consuming more products, means less time and money towards doing things we enjoy. Learn what has value to give you a better life you can build on.
Visualise your plan and grow in return for effort put in, nothing comes for free. - No short-cuts in life.
2.
Real value
See money as positive life energy, and you can’t have wealth without good health.
Scale back and slow down. Identify what it means to be rich to you and how do you define success? It’s going to scope your future. Do what you have to do... Chasing money will restrict you
The true value comes from what you can contribute for others and leave for the next generation.
