How do you know an idea is true?
That's a pretty big question, but I've found that the best way to know if an idea is worth exploring is to find out how long it's been around.
Because, as Mark Twain famously said, "There's no such thing as a new idea."
Sage wisdom usually comes in the form of a repetitive idea that respected spiritual and thought leaders have landed on independently over hundreds - even thousands - of years.
Today on the podcast, we welcome Suzanne Johnson, whose book Vital Simplicity pulls on the work of Charles Wagner - who authored The Simple Life in 1895.
Living simply as a means to internal fulfillment is a timeless truth - a conclusion that dates back as far as 600 BCE.
If that's not motivation to at least explore the principle of living with less...I don't know what is!

Blocks
by Suzanne Johnson
Child plays
Hour after hour
Stacking blocks
Knocking down
Holding wooden
Cubes in his
Tender hands
He is
Entertained
Leave the
Floor bare
Except for
These sturdy
Pieces
He finds his
Way
His interest is
Held
Add Legos
To the mix
And coloring
Books
Trains and trucks
And why not
Screens?
He soon becomes
Bored
Let his
Amusement
Be in the
Simple things
Let his
Vision sharpen on
One thing at a
Time
Cut through the
Clutter
And find
Joy
