Less is more. Truly.
But as humans we always seem to want more. Is the desire for more causing us to lose what truly matters?
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the practice of pursuing less.
Some refer to this as ‘essentialism’ since the purpose is to maintain a deep focus on only the most important things in life.
This discipline is just like any in that it takes a lot of practice. Mindfulness. An active re-commitment to simplifying things we try to complicate.
According to Greg McKeown, “It’s a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.”
If you feel:
• burnt out
• overworked
• unproductive
• unhappy, but too busy to change it
… then this might be the change you’re looking for.
A way to finally take control of your life and jump off the treadmill that’s leading nowhere, but exhausting you.
I invite you to have a listen, to see if what’s in this episode makes the difference in your outlook that it has on mine.
