On Quitting The Rat Race And Never Getting Sucked Back In

[@Ascendify5]

Havinga a minimalist kind woman who can cook is blessing

[@shawnbruce6934]

Yes.

[@SailorGerry]

I don't do all the cooking, but when I do, I usually 'hit it outta the park', and my wife and son really appreciate my efforts. That in turn, makes me want to cook more often - but certainly not every day!

[@ranjanadissanayaka5390]

when you marry them, they stop been minimalist.

[@MrGeati6783]

Thats my life. Live the moment and don't hurry.

[@leticiatoraci9855]

Society will deeply misunderstand and despise you for quitting the rat race. I stopped caring about it.

[@ASlowSimpleLife]

I agree with you, and yes, each to their own 😊

Growth comes from tribulation, but that's not where everything comes from.

[@helen-r3b]

It's so interesting, I was thinking this only this morning, that we spend most of our lives working towards something that we don't know how to just stop and enjoy it. It took me a long time to realise that I don't have to be continuously searching for something or moving on to the next "thing" if I don't want to. When I feel lost I remind myself of what I have, what I need to make me feel happy and content and that I don't have to fit into a box society deems me to be in.

[@ASlowSimpleLife]

You are so right, Helen. There's an old saying "You have to get lost before you can find yourself" and this one resonates with me. I got lost in the race and thought I should be doing what everyone was doing for fear of missing out or not having enough or whatever anxious thoughts.... And while it's true we need material objects, for me, I think we can all live a happy life with less but not many people are okay with that. In the end, we decide the quality of life we want, work towards it and the tradeoffs that come with it. 😊

[@deepanjalinaik3507]

I just discovered your videos today.... I have made similar changes in my life, you are blessed with a partner who understands this concept... and I am sure this simple life keeps you busy in a way that's not mentally or physically exhausting..

I always thought it strange that we're born into this insane system, sacrificing our entire life to it, instead of living lives on our own terms as we should be.

[@VivBeyer1111]

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.." (Melody Beattie.)

Well it‘s easy to leave the rat race if you have enough money. I work part time in the nuclear industry..thats nice. Lots of money and max 32 hours of work per week. Since I dont have much to do, i play chess or bass guitar during work and still am financially quite relaxed.

[@ASlowSimpleLife]

I agree. And from my experience, quitting the rat race involves a mindset shift, living within one's means and stop keeping up with the Joneses. But not everyone is willing to do this, nor do they think it's possible because of social conditioning. Quitting the rat race doesn't mean quitting work entirely but it's moving towards purposeful work while making time for what adds value to one's life. 😊

Extrovert here, I know I'm probably the only one. I can only agree with *some parts* of this philosophy. Yes, it's good to be intentional, it's good to keep your life simple and it's good to make sure we live life in the present. All good principles. However, work is part of life and believe it or not, gives it meaning, and can be very rewarding. It's even in the Bible. Sitting at home all day watching the birds outside seems kinda lazy to me. I'm a Husband, and a Father: I have responsibilities. I can't just quit my job and move out to the country. To each his own.

THE VIEWS XXXXXXXXXXX

[@annerougemont]

I don’t mean to offend, but do you realize how privileged a « simple » life you seem to live ? You have a lovely house, apparently stunning neighborhood, beautiful nature around, good clothes, etc. etc. Most of these things are unimaginable for many people in many countries, even in Europe, where housing for instance is super expensive, or health insurance, etc. Many of us might be minimalists by choice AND necessity combined, but very few people’s lifes will look like yours.

[@ASlowSimpleLife]

I understand where you are coming from. And I also understand that what we see from others is never the complete story as we are only outsiders. We don't see their personal struggles as they choose to keep them personal, yet we may assume they are doing well in life all the time. I tend to think that way, too, sometimes. However, I hope you would permit me to share these lines with you that struck me from an article I read some months ago: "Escaping the rat race isn’t just about quitting a job-it’s about building a life that sings the song of purpose and balance." Like I shared in this video, I still have a job and we have expenses but we choose to never inflate our lifestyle. For me, quitting the rat race is a mindset shift - from running the race with others to living true to my values. Wishing you a good day 🙏

[@annerougemont]

@@ASlowSimpleLife thank you for this reply. I am very much aware of all this and have not implied you don’t have a job and struggles and living costs etc. And I also understand what leaving the rat race means as I have done it myself with the mindset shift you mention. I just meant that what you seem to consider simple living, given the exceptional surroundings you benefit from to experience it, would/can seem rather luxurious to many people.

I make money through my part time freelance work as a motion graphic designer. Since we live below our means in a country with a low cost of living, my minimal income is more than enough to live on - and then some. I don't feel compelled to make so much money as I am content with the simple and frugal life my husband and I are living. It's no longer about making more money to feed unending desires but working to do something I genuinely find meaning in.
