Simplicity is the result of successfully eliminating from your life that which tends to complicate it. Whether it is in the food you eat, the clothes you wear, or the way you keep your house; living simply has enormous benefits on your state of health and wellbeing. Because clutter serves to confuse, and hoarding harbours envy, relying on material things for happiness is sure to keep you from experiencing maximum enjoyment out of life. Marie Kondo, author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, believes getting rid of physical items that do not bring joy to your life is paramount for living happily ever after.
