I love this perspective and its pretty much the type of lifestyle I've attempted to cultivate for a long time now.
Unfortunately, its more difficult said than done as survival in the modern world requires a certain amount of doing. However, not as much as people think.
You're right in saying that freedom comes from less rather than more through.
The most powerful person is the one who requires nothing.
I know what you mean. Maybe it's easier said than done. But maybe not. I believe we can find emptiness and non-doing in doing. Everything depends on our perspective and how we approach things. For example, requiring nothing doesn't have to mean that we have nothing. It can also mean that we aren't attached to anything we have.
Amazing! I am learning to embrace this since we are conditioned by the society to do more, go big, and move fast. Wish I saw it earlier. I wrote something similar in my Substack this week on finding balance ‘Nothing More, Nothing Less’.

Yes, we are. Perhaps you wouldn't have understood it if you had seen it earlier. We typically discover things right when we need them.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to read it! :)
