"You’d better slow down. Don’t dance so fast. Time is short. The music won’t last. When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over."
Timory Ferriss

Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living
“ What if I want to live simply?
To drink coffee and watch the sunrise with nowhere to go.
To climb a mountain for the view not for the selfie.
To cook healthy wholesome food to nourish my body, not to lose weight.
To spend more time with my family, not working to afford things we don’t need.
It’s time to slow down. To stop. To listen.
It’s time to turn off the noise and distractions, the constant need for more, the comparisons and consumerism.
It’s time to live simply and be wild and free.”

” …slow living is not about living your life in slow motion; it’s about doing everything at the right speed and pacing instead of rushing. By that same logic, slow living is not about losing time by going slowly; it’s about gaining time by doing the things that are most important to you.”
Kayleigh Dray
"Voluntary simplicity means going fewer places in one day rather than more, seeing less so I can see more, doing less so I can do more, acquiring less so I can have more."
