Happiness: Balancing Acceptance & Achievement

Jump to Comments


Living frugal and living well sometimes sound at odds; however, there is an attitude that needs to come with the Living Better on Less lifestyle. It can bring true happiness, too. Constantly running on the hamster wheel of life will only tire you out and exhaust you. Happiness comes when you have balance between acceptance and achievement. If you’re not satisfied with the place you’re in, in life, you can improve it, but to be happy you need to be at harmony with what you have now. I believe the above image illustrates this concept very well.

He is richest who is content with the least, for contentment is the wealth of nature. ~Socrates
