Consciousness of Living
Consciousness
of living a simple lifestyle is the key to happiness and longevity. In this day
and age, living in this complex world of technology has taken a toll on the
human mind, creating undue stress, as well as many emotional, mental, personal,
and psychological attachments in the material world. For these reasons,
profound human wisdom in living is essential to overcoming stress and letting
go of a compulsive mindset.
Simplicity
is the first step towards detachment, which holds the key to unlocking the door
to happiness. Live a simple lifestyle, deleting all the trimmings of life and
living, as well as all the attachments that may have a negative impact on your
mind.
Epicurus, the
Greek philosopher, had this advice on how to lead a pleasant life: avoiding
luxuries, and living simply. The explanation is that luxurious living may make
you into a “needy” person whose happiness always depends on things that are
impermanent and easily lost.
Can you
live a simple lifestyle to help you let go of all the trimmings of life?
When
you were in your younger days, you might have had many attachments to life that
define who you were, such as the car you were driving, the designer dress you
were wearing, or anything that defined your social status. Can you, at this
point in your life, let go of all these attachments and just lead a simple
life?
With
less focus on your attachments to the material world, your heart will be more
on your spirituality, which is critical to your living as if everything is amiracle.
Human
existence is meaningless without life purpose and human happiness. Consciousness
of living holds the key to the success of this pursuit. Consciousness of living
is wisdom of the mind to understand the self, others, as well as how and why
certain things happen. Wisdom in living enables one to complete the rest of
one's life journey and reaching the destination.
