The Value Of Living A Quiet Life

Nowadays, in this hustle culture, we’ve created. We find ourselves being so busy, to the point where the feeling of busyness has consumed our life. Yet beneath that darkness, we are yearning for a simple life—a quiet life.

But what does it mean to live a quiet? That’s the magic question right?!

I felt that… I was a lawyer, commuting to work everyday downtown. While I was on a biz trip to Vegas I started writing my first novel. I was so excited… the pandemic happened and I realized how much I was giving everyday to being busy rather than appreciating the time I had forged for myself to write, be in that flow state.

After my sister in law passed, my husband and I became guardians of our nephew, a teenage young man. And I lost that job bc of that family emergency, bc of prioritizing what was important to me. So…

Instead of stay in the city with rising prices and business… we bought a small house 30 mins outside the cities. My husband commutes into the city for work but the drive is scenic and he says even tho it’s slightly longer it’s less stressful. I take the dog out to play every day — we have so much green space and a small wooded area. It’s so lovely. Slowing down and living simply is helping me heal from burnout from being a lawyer and all those expectations I let everyone put on me. Now I’m working on publishing my 3rd novel in the Crescent Crown Saga series. I prefer this way…

Choosing a minimalistic lifestyle is life affirming every single day!!!

I'm a 33 year old man living on Japan working for a local store, it is really tough working there but until i see this video and it motivates me by coming home at 8pm and drinking milk and doing some stretching for 20 minutes until i sleep at 11pm, thank you❤❤

I like the various definitions of a quiet life and how it circled back to minimalism

[mellowwatcher]

I've noticed that for me, living a quiet(er) life actually means being a louder, more expressive person. Because when the clutter in my head diminishes, the chatter gets quieter and my inner critic doesn't paralyse me anymore. It makes me more open and extroverted in social situations and I express my creativity and playfulness more.
Thank you for the great video Ronald, wishing you a quiet evening (it's evening here in Germany)!

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning.

I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone.

My version of a quiet life would be literally quiet a quarter of the time but the rest would be filled with music and dance and domestic travel - basically focusing on the things I enjoy rather than just existing and accumulating material things I don’t actually need

[elioneil]

First comment! Hustler culture is the worst. Your comments remind me of the new idea of living a “soft life”

[shannonbeer]

You’re such a beautiful poetic soul - I could listen to you talk all day!

[startpage]

You popped that clip in holding your child and I became teary...OMG Congratulations to you Both...I have and Love the quiet life, clutter less life, people less life but I am not perfect because I still have to release a lot of what society has conditioned me into over time...release..reflect, rework, Relax...repeat LOL...

[HaneenIAdam]

Thank you sir for your wise words, a great help it was. When I search a quiet life I always look into women content, considering I'm a woman and all. But this is the first time I watch a video with a man talking about such a concept. I was drawn to your video and it did not disappoint.

Love this video and messaging! Hope your loving being a father ❤

[BobPritchard]

I always enjoy your videos Ron. I have been most content when on long distance thru hikes. Everything I need is on my back and it's intentionally very minimal. Less weight is critical but so is less stuff as each item takes up space in my thoughts and too much can leave me frazzled when I'm physically exhausted. When I hike I don't listen to music, just take in the sounds, smells, sights, touch and feelings of my hike. And when I eat the food I've taken on my journey the tastes are amazing even though it's always far less varied and extensive as what I have at home. And I sleep so much better than at home as my mind is uncluttered. Your videos remind me of the importance of seeking a less cluttered and more fulfilling existence. Thank you Ron.

Thank you for this! I have been living a quiet life and it's been a blessing.

[yvonneweiohara]

A lot of the points you talked about kind of echo what I felt in the early phases of the pandemic but was never really able to put into words. I realized how much “clutter” I had in terms of distractions and commitments and little things that ate up my time without me realizing it, and decided to get off social media. It’s been a couple years but I do not miss it because I’ve been able to find things I genuinely enjoy to take up my time. ❤️

[josedelgado]

Hey Ronald, I love your quotes!
Thank You!!

[parkerrose]

OMG My sister, who lives in another state than me, (thank goodness) has ALWAYS been a distraction my whole life. Lonely and unhappy with her life, which she mostly caused herself, she calls me 4 or5 times a day just to complain or tell me about her old life. She is causing stress and anxiety to my life everyday.

[marcusferreira]

It's a interesting point of view. Without thinking about it or planning it, I'm inclined to live a quiet life.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us.

A couple of months ago, I started training my listening with your videos. I'm learning vocabulary, patterns of speaking and minimalism with you.

Thanks again and keep it up!

[cozzy]

Ronald your videos is always as i expected is full of VALUE. Thank you so much 💚💚💚

I have a busy life but love to center myself in calmness with small and big breaks.
