Defining Voluntary Simpliciy

Although there are many definitions for voluntary simplicity, I really liked this one from www.choosingvoluntarysimplicy.com. 

It reads: Voluntary simplicity is a philosophy. Often called compassionate living, it is a conscious choice to simplify your life and a deliberate downshifting to create the life and home environment that fit you are your family... Voluntary simplicity is not a limiting lifestyle. Actually, choosing to live "consciously and deliberately" will give you freedom... more quality time... more discretionary money... and more appreciation and enjoyment of every aspect of your life.

Beautifully-worded. Simple, yet profound. To me, it is worth it to strive to live a life centered around the ideas and ideals that I can really believe in. It is a journey, and I'm enjoying the ride...
