Simplicity: We have more than we need

We have so many people in this world whose only focus is the big goals in their heads and not the small achievements they have achieved over time, and one of the reasons is that we all believe that those are the things we have to do to get to where we are going. Sometimes, when it gets hard and seems difficult, we think our life is a failure. We blame the system and sometimes even everything around us, including ourselves.

We are all thinking about these goals in our heads but not how far we have come, and the truth is the small achievements we neglected are the things that some people strived for and tried all their lives but they never achieved, even though there was a time in everybody's life when those small achievement we consider not important are the height we strive for at the beginning of our life. We forget how much time it took us to get to where we are right now, but we are mostly focused on the big goals in our heads and the big achievements.

Most times, it's not as if we are living beyond our means but we want to live in a reality we have created for ourselves in our minds. Sometimes, this can even worsen when you have so many people around you doing better than you are, Maybe you are the least successful among your friends, You will complain about everything, but if you look closely at your life, you will know everything also works for you. Yours is just a process, and the process always takes time.

So of us can't even see past ourselves

There are things we are all connected to things that keep us going. Some people are connected to their previous hardships. These people always remember where they are coming from because of hardship and experience Let us appreciate every little progress we are making, especially if we have never imagined the position we find ourselves in. But we have those people who are fortunate, and when they are starting up their life, it is not as if they did not experience hardship, but it's not an extreme hardship, it's just a little one, and they jump into success right away.

The set of people are not connected to extreme hardship, they are just connected to success, and immediately, they are trying to achieve something, and it's taking a little bit of time they complain about everything. They complain about how far they should have gone and not where they are coming from, they don't have that deep thinking to see that not everybody is in their current position.

Simplicity teaches us how to appreciate life.

My brother was doing fine in our town until a misunderstanding with his mother led him to pack his bags and move to Lagos, where he struggled to find an apartment. For two months, he lived in his car, until he called me one day and explained how difficult it was to live from his vehicle. It was then that he realized the value of the comfort that comes with living in a real home. Only after leaving home did he see life from a different perspective and appreciate the little things we often take for granted, like waking up in our own bed.

The truth is, life has given us more and more than we need, and for this, we don't appreciate every little thing until we are back down to ground zero or we just choose to simplify our life, that's when we realize the kind of abundance we are enjoying and still complaining about everything. If only we could just take time, I would see life from a different perspective, we would appreciate everything, including the air we breathe in.

The earlier you realize this, the better because it reduces the way we worry and helps us to be happier. It also changed our mentality into a giver because this will let us realize that we have more than enough for us to survive. We will also become selfless to the people around us.
