Living simply may seem boring if you’re identified with certain ideas about yourself related to educational pedigree, the car you drive, the house you live in or financial success. The more attached to outer trappings, the more you seek acknowledgment from others. However, far from boring, when you release yourself from ego-identification with all things external, you free yourself to focus on what actually matters in attaining true happiness: How you feel. Chasing recognition is often the result of unresolved feelings of inadequacy. The only way to heal that…

Is to feel it.
