Episode 3109: Courtney Carver's "Simplicity is Not a Destination" explores the misconception that simplicity is a final goal rather than an ongoing journey. Through shared experiences and practical advice, Carver highlights the importance of embracing simplicity as a daily practice, emphasizing that true satisfaction comes from the process itself rather than reaching a particular state of minimalism. This enlightening perspective encourages readers to find joy in simplicity every day, challenging the notion of a definitive endpoint. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bemorewithless.com/practice/ Quotes to ponder: "Instead of trying to change everything and everyone around you, accept that there is no finish line and no prize for having more or less." "If simplicity is a practice and not a destination, you don’t have to wait to get started. You can measure your success in joy and happiness instead of arrival time and place."
