I am currently reading a book, just starting really, about minimalism applied to lifestyle. So far it is emphasizing the point that the goal isn’t really less but more. It’s one of those paradoxes that makes sense because we are human and we have experiences that confirm the truth of it.
“Fear less, hope more;
eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more;
love more, and all good things will be yours.”
– Swedish proverb

Less certainly is more. I love the Swedish proverb. Seems like it can apply to just about anything. Thanks for sharing!
