“There is a lovely idea attributed to Aboriginal society that says, “The more you know, the less you need.” Accepting less means less clutter and meaningless stuff in our lives. Less distractions, less debt, less greed and craving, less servitude to work.”

Op-Ed by James Victore: Accepting Less to Have More :: The 99 Percent

The coaching in this article isn’t new, but have you taken action with the self-discipline required? It’s self-care, really.

The quote above really appealed to me, because it implies that you haven’t blinders on - you are aware of the rest of the world, and you’ve made an informed choice.

Victore’s choice?

Me? My own attempts to have more life in my life are simple. I keep a small, comfortable home. I have always had a live/work studio with low overhead that gives me flexibility to work on projects that I choose and allows access to my family and time off when I need it. My daily schedule allows time for the things I know that I need in my life like study and reflection and exercise. I try to work on projects I find meaningful and make things people won’t throw away. The money is rarely enough, but whose is?
