      Thanks! And that's wonderful and so true. Reminds me of this lovely quote by Thoreau: "Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder." ❤

    Hi! Life is full of trials and errors. It's through our trials and errors that we gain our wisdom. Happiness is fleeting and only lasts for that moment, BUT joy is long-lasting and is established internally for all our moments we experience. Being In-JOY allows us to take it with us always and allows us to share it. Your journey has and is making you an amazing woman. Keep up your journey of discovery! In gratitude and blessings for the wonderful person you are becoming!

    Hi there! I am so glad you could make this change happen in your life. I am somewhere stuck where at one point I want to leave it all for a simple life where I can read, sing and do my yoga and on the other hand I can't leave my job for financial independence and it's not the best place to be in :(

      Hi Lipi, I understand where you're coming from. I have a job myself and work 30 - 35 hours a week. Our jobs or businesses are important for practical reasons. But what I have realized is that outside of work hours is our own time to do things that we truly value. It may not be several hours of doing what we love, but devoting even just a few minutes a day doing some reading, or yoga, or anything that inspires us, adds joy in our lives. In this video I created, I pretty much showed how my day usually goes. It's 1 hour first thing in the morning devoted on self care, then work for 6 - 7 hours, make lunch, and read before bed. Craft projects are usually for a few minutes on a weekend. I think living a fulfilling life where we do what we love while keeping our jobs is possible. We just need to design it according to what fits our situation at the moment. Most important thing is you give time for yourself, the best way you can ❤

    Can I be happy without money?

    • @ASlowSimpleLife
      @ASlowSimpleLife  3 месяца назад +6

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful question! While money can certainly make some things in life easier, true happiness often comes from within and is found in the simple, meaningful moments-like nurturing relationships, having a sense of purpose, and practicing gratitude for the blessings we already have. It’s important to have our basic needs met, of course, but beyond that, happiness is more about how we choose to live rather than how much we have. It’s definitely possible to live with less and still feel deeply fulfilled when we focus on what truly matters to us. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
