Simplification

In Modern Life, People want to be Bigger, Higher , Faster, Stronger, Richer in everything they do. In this quest for being better in everything, Most people end-up with many things on the plate resulting in loss of Focus & Dissatisfaction. We can do anything ,but not everything. The solution then lies in Simplifying down to the Most Important Things in Life by paring down to the absolute essentials.
We need amplify the richness of every day by Simplification. Simplifying is not easy as it sounds. It means to identify the two or three main aspects that we want to focus among the hundreds of Things that lay in front of us.
Try doing this exercise :
You need to tell your life story in a time of 5 minutes. Through this exercise, you will come to know that, To tell the essence of your life in 5 minutes you need to subtract ,subtract,subtract…..all the incidents of your life until it comes to barely one or two that matters most to you. And when you tell this story containing one or two incidents, it will be more profound and impactful to everyone. According to Hans Hoffman, the German Philosopher , “the ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak".
The same principle of simplification should be applied to our daily life everyday. Doing fewer things everyday with a better focus resulting in Quality output. This is because ‘Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.’ ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
