My 90 days of gratitude | Prompt Day 54: How could "less is more" improve your social life?

My Life and "Less Is More"

Hello everyone, happy Sunday! I'm back again in my gratitude corner. Today, I want to take the opportunity to share with you what has been my life philosophy for a long time: the principle of "less is more."

Unlike those who receive the epiphany out of desperation or social exhaustion, for me, "less is more" has always been part of my essence. I have never believed in quantity, nor have I surrendered to the pressure that a full agenda represents success. My social life has always been a conscious choice, the certainty that depth is what makes the bond possible.

I choose the luxury of simplicity.

I don't look to fill empty spaces, but to create and treasure connections. That's why my friendships withstand the test of time; they nourish me and give me energy, instead of draining me. My success is manifested in the quality of my connections.

For me, "less is more" is nothing more than full presence. If I am with you, I am completely with you. The phone is put away; the attention, undivided. I don't do it as a trick or manipulation strategy, as people without a soul who act out of networking interest for "good relations" and status might intend. It’s that I give respect to the person next to me. That's why I avoid meetings with many people, because I prefer the magic of a sustained gaze, of a shared laugh without distractions.

That's why today I want to give thanks: for the protection that "less is more" has given me, the richness of my few, but precious, friendships, and for the authenticity that flourishes when there is no need to impress an audience.

Agnesi,

Un Círculo Rojo
