Thanks to a Friend from Canada
For reminding me of this quote
He inspired me to create this post
~*~
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
"Simplify your life.
Don’t waste the years struggling
for things that are unimportant.
Don’t burden yourself with possessions.
Keep your needs and wants simple
and enjoy what you have.
Don’t destroy your peace of mind
by looking back, worrying about the past.
Live in the present.
Simplify!"
~Henry David Thoreau

Here's a short 6 minute video on Thoreau
That I found to be very good
(for a short 6 minute video on Thoreau)
I hope you will spend the 6 minutes
And get to know Thoreau a little better
Perhaps it will inspire you to
Search out and learn more about Thoreau
Find out why He is one of my Heroes

It's good if very few people can live in a very "simple " way . They help to dream .
But I can not imagine seven billions of people doing it .
Es tan sencillo ser felices con poco y no dejarnos manejar por el consumismo.Amigo venezolano,Cucuta
Great approach to life!
A lesson that is so powerful, yet seem so hard to take in.
What is so amazing about this is how it is even more relevant today than back in the 1800's. I struggle with what is necessary and what is a "distraction."
Thank you for this great video and quote. It will do me good to take an inventory of my life and my current possessions and my current wants verses my current needs.
Thanks AOM!
