To the contrary, it may involve a great deal of thought, and the answer may be unique to you. Those answers bring a profound question in their wake. The key here is balance. Living simply should not be an excuse to quit your job or leave your family. Even more, it brings a willingness to create the life you want.
Voluntary simplicity involves choosing to have a 'life' rather than a 'lifestyle'.
Nobody can tell you how to accomplish this. Change starts with you and your own attitudes . . . Voluntary simplicity has to come from personal choice. Most of us do not suddenly bloom into living simply. Instead we carefully answer soul-searching questions and we create changes to bring us into alignment with our Selves.
