Yes you are right. Living in simplicity is beauty. And having a simple life is much happier. I really believe on that. If we just live simply, we can appreciate life and we will not ask for more. Contentment in our living with simplicity is so much enough.

I totally agree with you. When we live a simple life that helps us to really appreciate the things that we have. Which is so much better than always wanting more. Then we will not become satisfied no matter how much we have.

I on my quest to return to a simple life. Like you said, it's not easy, there are a lot of challenges to overcome. But if you have the determination, I'm sure you'll get there someday.

I agree with you that determination is very important. It can help us to do and see a lot of things. We just have to keep working at it and not give up when times get hard. That will give us a lot of motivation to reach our goals and find happiness. Sometimes we just have to enjoy the moment.

I agree with you. It is best to live a simple life. When we have that type of mind set things work out better. We are happier with the things we have, we learn to be content and not always strive for more. Which would cause more stress.

Yes, now, as an adult, everything is really difficult and complex... earning money, paying the bills, relationships (because people are complicated, and you can't control feelings)... so you feel relaxed when once everything seems easy and simple.

We have different feelings in different age stage of our life, and maybe that is the symbol of our grown up.Have a nice day!

Yeah I agree with you. We go through different stages in our life. Hopefully with time we do grow to know what is truly important and valuable in our life. For some that takes a lot of time to try and figure out what they want. I'm still working on that as far as career wise.

That is so true. When we were young happiness could be gained easily. As we grow up, things get complex and we decide to keep everything simple rather than spicing up so that we could be peaceful.
