We can find our center of gravity within ourselves by simplifying and slowing down our lives. ~

We are all inclined to get overwhelmed at times and to ask, “What can I, one person, do to right problems like pollution and hunger?” Gandhi’s reply is simple but challenging: you just raise your own consciousness and you will raise the consciousness of the entire world. That is what he did. ~

To live simply is to live gently, keeping in mind always the needs of the planet, other creatures, and the generations to come. In doing this we lose nothing, because the interests of the whole naturally include our own. ~

You and I are trustees. Nothing belongs to us personally. The resources of our planet have been entrusted to every one of us together. Like good bank trustees, we are expected not to squander these resources but to invest them wisely for our beneficiaries: the rest of life, especially the generations to come.
The trust includes not only the lives and natural resources of the planet, but our inner resources as well. This has practical implications. We can lessen our potentially exhausting impact on the earth by simplifying our desires and demands. Simplicity is the key to trusteeship. ~ Eknath Easwaran
