less is more.
nor is it a new one.
its application, however, presents a dilemma to most of us.
in the clutter of my day-to-day life i have slowly come to recognise a pattern. my desire for more generally detracts from my enjoyment of life, rather than adding to it.
stacks of half-read books with ears folded, open browser tabs in the double digits, notebooks brimming with unactioned lists, plans and ideas. does it sound familiar?
this is a life lived in the future, dominated by promises for tomorrow and hindered by procrastination.
my chief desire is to lead a life lived in the present, with an appreciation for simplicity and an ability to discriminate between necessity and desire.
i have drawn inspiration from beloved authors such as pirsig, higgins, bach, garder and carey, while fellow bloggers such as mnmlist, stonesoup and allcatsaregreyatnight are examples of the joys of simplicity, positivity and aesthetics.
through a focussed process of elimination of my distractions, i hope to establish what is important in my life and devote more time to these things.
ultimately i seek to find greater health and happiness through the act of leading a fuller life.
