Simple life [image]

It takes surprisingly little for humans to live a good life. A roof over our heads. Food on the table. Access to clean water. Fresh air. A healthy body. And good social connections.

If you have all these things, consider yourself fortunate. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

I've always loved what Seneca said: "It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor."

There's something freeing about not being enslaved to our net worth and material possessions. Once we stop constantly seeking for more, we begin to appreciate more of what we already have.

After all, happiness is wanting what you have.
