The concept of ‘simple living, high thinking’ is something that every person should adopt. This concept is also called minimalism. Your lifestyle will be totally different if you own just the essentials. Everything beyond the essentials are luxuries that we don’t actually need. There are very few with such an established lifestyle to achieve simple living and high thinking.
