Hello friends and family ❤️❤️!

The problem with the world 🌎 is that there is nothing you do that can please people especially those around you or the once you share your space with from time to time. And I have never for once thought that the way I live my life will be a border to any one because we all have freedom to lifestyles.

Living simple is a choice I have made and have maintained for years now. And while living it my family and loved 🥰 ones has also taken some footsteps towards appreciating what I have inculcated in them through this simple living. I could say I derive so much joy seeing them happy with this lifestyle.

But the problem and challenges am having is mostly among some of my closest friends and colleagues in my work field who believes that simple living is a means by which some people shy away from flamboyant lifestyle which simple means to them spending extravagantly. But I believe that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion on issues of all kinds as regards to criticism because no matter what ever you do to stay away from others questioning your principles and choices, they still try by any means to penetrate you.

Having friends we relate with and confide in is something we can’t do without but when your choice of lifestyle does not conform with theirs , you as an individual will choose the next step to take or decisions to make. Some of my friends who love partying 🎉🎊 will always want us to buy lace materials for a wedding party 🎉. This kind of fashion style I do not like so much, because its looks heavy on the body and will not serve me more on other occasions, so most times I decline buying and will choose to wear what I like . This has been a very big challenge but I stood my ground for a long time. No body can push me around or make me to go against my principles of living. Its either the friendship continues or I stay with those who conforms with mine.

And some of my colleagues believes that eating with plenty of beef 🥩, chicken 🍗 or roasted turkey 🦃 during lunch is the best way one can enjoy life . But sometimes when we all are having group lunch 🥙, and as they are ordering plate full of just little rice 🍚 with lots of beef or chicken , I will order vegetable 🥗, smoothie or sone potatoes fries 🍟, they will look at me as if I don’t want to spend more money 💰. But I have ordered what I feel like eating. I eat to stay light and healthy and mot just eating. But how do you go convincing those you know will never accept your conviction because they are not living your kind of lifestyle. Your mind set is totally different from theirs so you need not boarder.

However, many who do not know what minimalistliving is all about will find it very difficult to understand you even when you put in effort to explain it to them. But most times those who see you differently and love ❤️ your lifestyle will gradually follow your lifestyle without you knowing. I have a colleague who practically changed from the way she dresses. Formally she wears lots of jewelry to work, jewelries that are meant for occasion and those for church. But recently I have seen her wearing just simple pin up earrings because work place does not need costumes. Many who wants to change will see you , copy you and move on.

Minimalistliving is a perfect lifestyle for me and my loved 🥰 ones. I don’t think I will give in to any challenges instead I will stay away from all the challenges to make things so easy for my because when benefits are greater then disadvantages, the former prevails.

Thanks for reading friends.
