After discovering what our inward realities (ie. Motivations) now we can move on to our outward lifestyle of simplicity. These outward expressions that follow are a mixture of Richard Foster's book and some of my own thoughts.
1. Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
2. Reject anything that is producing an addiction in you.
3. Develop a habit of giving things away.
4. Learn to enjoy things without having to own them.
5. Develop a deeper appreciation for creation.
6. Refuse to get trapped into buy now and pay later.
7. Set reasonable boundaries.
8. Identify and honor your God given priorities.
9. Learn to delegate.
Let me close with these questions: What are the inward realities that are keeping you from a simpler life? Is it performance, possessions, or popularity?
What steps do you wan to take to change your outward lifestyle?
