🌱 The Paradox of “Less”

We often think happiness is on the other side of acquiring a better job, a bigger home, a newer phone. But here’s the paradox: sometimes, when life strips things away, you notice the things that actually matter.

• The way the sky turns gold at sunset

• A peaceful mind that has no chaos within

• Calm thoughts that don’t bother you

When life is cluttered with excess, we forget these little treasures. When life is simple, they shine.
