In between having a career one must also stop to introspect that what kind of life we are actually leading. One feels overjoyed while rushing between meetings the whole day, but it can be tiring also. What type of life do we want then?

You need to think about what is precious for you. Your circle of family and friends will always be there to help you out during tough times. But at times, you need to experience real adventure, fun and freeness to see that life is full of fun and there is much more than only work. Take out time to appreciate what is happening in your vicinity.

Reinventing your own life may not be the perfect solution, figure a way out to ease your life. Take a decision on what you consider to be most precious, have a life centered around those values and reduce the mess that doesn’t help you reach your goals. First and foremost, think of what is valuable, and before you start simplifying it, you need to qualify what are the determinants of a high quality life.

We have a consumerist attitude of living life, which tends to contradict the whole idea of simplifying life. As we keep living, we tend to accumulate more and more over a period of time and the world thinks that we are extremely interested in possessing objects and material wealth. It could be more than the physical items as well. One could be collecting activities also. This behavior makes us like a rat, which is always racing from one experience to another. Even though, this gives us importance and desire to be possessed, we are not always happy and satisfied.

There is an emergence of movement of simplicity in the flood of stuff. While we work rapidly and constantly, we become a hamster on a wheel. A large part of our salary goes in meeting our regular expenditure and we only save a handful of our income. We all need to keep remembering that life is short.

You need to come up with an objective that will make you happy and content. This same principle can be applied to your day to day routine. Try and take out time on a daily basis for new opportunities. Leverage time management which means one needs to do lesser things of higher importance. At the end of the day, simple living is all about a philosophy.

Living life simply means unburdening our lives and making it more light and clean. The goal should be to create more rounded, simple and lateral relationships with all the key aspects of our life: which includes the activities we accomplish, bonding with people in our contact and our connections with the world at large. This is in a profound sense a life which is straight on the outside and rich inside.

For many people, living life in a simple fashion means catering to gardening needs, taking a walk in the park every afternoon or reading one’s favourite books. By doing this, one tends to reduce the worldly possessions to ensure that one is never in a hurry. You can now focus on the world outside because you have lesser distraction to bother you now. Some people believe that life is all about gathering money and power. For people who have been focusing on the opposite, they know that everybody needs some time in the world to reflect, think and also get adventurous. Money and control are nothing in front of happiness in life.

Spend twenty dollars, and 11 minutes of your time – it will change your life in ways you never imagined.

You certainly read this right. It takes just 11 minutes, you will hear my story, and learn 3 secrets to improving your life through …. Reading. I am sure you know how to read, after all you are reading this article. But just how long will it take you to read this short article. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, longer.

Smart people already know what I am talking about – learning how to use your brain properly so that what you read becomes usable data, and knowledge to help you create greater success in life.

Today a story came out on Mexico’s national television, of a woman who was imprisoned for shooting her husband because he beat her, and repeatedly sold her to her friends for sexual use and beat her if she refused. Well, she just killed him and went to prison.

In prison, for the first time in her life – she was exposed to books of all kinds. She knew she did wrong but she had years to pay for her mistake and her repayment was to read and study and enter university through the prison system to study to become a lawyer.

Really, the more you read of a similar subject, the faster you read that subject. The faster you read the subject that you are familiar with, the more that it becomes a part of your long-term memory. That’s why when you first study basic primary school math, and you follow it and study smart, and go all the way through college – math is a thing that you become accustomed to. If you’ve studied really smart, it’s really easy, and you can do some of it in your head without calculator or paper and pen.

But, what if you learned also, how to read a book for best understanding and comprehension for test-taking or pleasure, and what if you also learn to write a paper for school, or grad school – without stress in 10 days or less, would that make your life easier.

In 11 minutes flat, you will improve the quality of your life for 20 bucks, you really can’t lose. Remember also, the more you read, the better you read, the more you remember – that’s how the brain works. So work your brain.
