You need less than you think

We always think we need more: more help, more motivation, more energy. But in our current world the answer is often the exact opposite: we need less. Fewer distractions, fewer goals, fewer responsibilities. Is that so we can watch more TV? No. We need less of those things so we can go all in on our priorities. The question is what are you going to do less of? What are you going to quit or say no to in order to make time for what matters most?

Half the confusion in the world comes from not knowing how little we need.

Less is more.

Less is more.

The less you have, the less you have to worry about.

Evidence shows that we do much less thinking than we believe we do — except, of course, when we think about it.

It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get.

Less but better.

The more we have the less we own.

The fewer one's comforts, the fewer one's needs; and the fewer one's needs, the greater one's happiness.

But I don't want more things than I need, either.

so few in reality are the true necessities of man

It is, indeed, very little that we need! But lacking that, the adventure into the labyrinth is without hope.
