Hello friends,
A very good day/night to you all. The title of this post is Simplicity for Zealouszestyliving, Simplicity and a zealous zesty life may sound like an oxymoron (Two opposite meaning words used together). You may wonder that on one hand I am wanting to make our lives(yours and mine) zealous and zesty and on the other hand I am suggesting that simplicity should be incorporated in life so what am I exactly talking about? Be patient (as in "having patience" not the other "patient" as in being sick!) and read on.
Why Simplicity?
- What is your favorite food ? (Dont worry I cant read your mind so I wont know even if it is a sinful delicacy!) If you have your favorite food every other day it would cease to be a novelty and a coveted delicacy but what happens if you have normal food every day and have your favorite food once a while you will relish it more happily.
- Excess of luxuries and extravagances make you crave for more than what you can afford or get. They take away the zeal from life as you always want more than what you can obtain.
- The joy obtained through simplicity is so precious that it cannot be bought with any amount of money and with any currency.
- Simple living is a money saver and leaves you a sufficient bank balance to cater for your real need.
One very important point to be considered is each person has his or her own level of simplicity attainable which is also relative to his or her current state and condition.A multimillionaire born with a golden spoon may not be able to dress up and live in simplistic conditions overnight. (Though even if such a person who is famous dresses in rags it might become a style statement). Accept simplicity gradually, naturally and adopt it in the best way possible , the idea is to make life zealous and not to torture your mind and body. If you are mentally not ready for it just don't attempt it.
Simplicity in Food, Clothing and Shelter(Home).
I will mention simplicity in the three basic requirements of a human being namely Food, Clothing and Shelter. You may write to me about any other topics (the list is vast).
Simplicity in Food.
Remember the simple meal you cooked with the
ingredients available in your kitchen when some dear ones dropped in unannounced after ages? I remember more than one such meal how about you? Our body requires basic food in a simple form but we process and reprocess it, add loads of fats and trans fat , refrigerate it and do not have it fresh, add more unhealthy toppings and then we have it , What a waste of time and what a
divergence from healthy living , can such a living be zesty? So let us think of adopting simplicity in food , of course extravagance is allowed once a while otherwise we will not be able to stick to it as greed and temptations will refrain us from doing so.

Simplicity in Clothing.
One famous film personality from Bollywood whose dressing style is aped by younsters states that he maintains a limited wardrobe and according to him if you are fit then anything will look good on you. I absolutely agree with him don't you? Imagine if a person from a film industry can follow this anyone can. Get rid of the unwanted stuff , sometimes we don't have énough space in our closet for necessary clothes because it's filled with non wearable clothes which we have hoarded for some reason or the other. Avoid buying new stuff unless it is really required. If you do not have the facility of frequently being able to wash and iron then of course it goes without saying that you have to stock up your wardrobe adequately.
Now coming to the expense of clothes.How can a dress made of fabric cost lakhs unless it is made of gold and other precious stones and even then we cannot wear the same dress again and again. Of course some professions demand an extravagance in clothes but I am sure moderation can be exercised. You may go for brands but for their quality and not for flaunting or for the name.
