How to Simplify Your Life

7 Ways Less Is More – Matthew Kelly – 60 Second Wisdom

Video Transcript:

“Simplicity is good for the soul. We complain about how complicated life has become, but we continue to complicate our lives. The two main ways we complicate our lives is with things and commitments. So much of our anxiety comes from these things and yet we cling to them and multiply them as is they were prizes to be cherished.

Here are seven examples of how less is more:

1. Less television means more time to read.
2. Less comparison means more contentment.
3. Less stuff means more space.
4. Less talking means more listening.
5. Fewer commitments means more time just to be.
6. Less complaining means more gratitude.
7. Less clutter means more clarity.

Less is more means different things to different people. Find out what it means to you, try it, and take note of how it changes your life.”

#8 Less judging creates more self reflection, grace, respect and forgiveness.

[createdbless]

I also listened twice and will probably listen many more times! Thank you 😊

[jimondrus]

Less talking and more listening really rang true for me today Matthew. Thank you for the 60 Second Wisdom.

[davidhick]

Thank you Mr. Kelly. I hope you have a good day.

[agneserker]

I liked them all and it was good to hear them again. God bless you Matthew

[nancyalger]

I needed this message today, Matthew! (Listened to it twice).

[jjcm]

a very bright man. sound advice. as Christ said travel light. carry no baggage.

[KateVolmanMedia]

Number 2 is my fave! Less comparison means more contentment. It's an opportunity for us to feel grateful for what we have and who we are. Great message, Matthew.

[sarahwolf]

Less (actually not less, no) social media equals more happiness and free time.

[nadinek]

Your timing is impeccable! While on a walk with my eight year old granddaughter Saturday, we had a conversation about the word “enough” I kept it simple..but I felt it must start some where.

[joecardone]

#3 less stuff means more space is actually profound. I guess that’s why some of the great Saints lived in the middle of the wilderness with no possessions. They had nothing to fill their heads and time with except for God and Gods creation around them. Awesome!

[tonygville]

Jesus I will Trust in You 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 💪🙏

[KathleenBanfield]

Clutter is a biggie for me. Every time I think I have it conquered, it reappears, worse than before!

[barbarabalogh]

You hit all the points so well. The challenge is remembering them. Maybe it's a good idea to post them on the fridge.

[dylansteigerwaldart]

This may sound a little weird, and I'm not sure if it's the athletic jacket design, but you look very fit today! Thought that might make you smile. Great message and vid! :)

[joannecolabella]

If you don't feel appreciated, it could be a difference in how you express love to the other person. What's important to you (words of encouragement, acts of service, etc.), may not be important to someone else. Try the book the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Can be for partners, children, singles, etc.

[evarugoletti]

Loved all of these! Is this in writing somewhere so I can hang it on my wall to never forget its wisdom?

[ritasaar]

This is helpful, but I miss your talks about God in our lives.

[joannadavignon]

I’ve been told that I don’t or wouldn’t understand having children. I went for a papsmear and lost one

[cynthiaprivitera]

Keep your chin up.

11. When are you due?
12. Aren't you having children?
