I choose quality over QUANTITY- Too harsh?
Think of it like this-you have a smaller number of plants that you nurture with care. You give them the right amount of water, ensure they receive adequate sunlight, and tend to their specific needs. These plants thrive, blossom beautifully, and bear fruit or flowers abundantly due to the individualized attention they receive. Quality.
On the other hand, in a garden with numerous plants but limited care, the attention is spread thin. You might have an abundance of plants, but they struggle to flourish. They might not receive enough water or sunlight, and as a result, they may not grow to their full potential. Quantity.
While the quantity of plants is high, the quality of their growth and output is compromised due to the lack of dedicated care and attention.
Quantity vs. Quality
Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.” – Steve Jobs
In a world that often measures success by accumulation and busyness, the concept of quality over quantity stands as a beacon of mindful living. It’s a philosophy that urges us to reevaluate our priorities, shifting our focus from amassing numerous experiences or possessions to cherishing meaningful, enriching moments.
Personally, quality outweighs quantity in all aspects of life. When my life becomes too much of a burden I want to be released of this life and began my next- whatever that entails.

It’s about dedicating myself to endeavors that resonate with my purpose, allowing me to channel my energy into projects that bring genuine satisfaction and contribute meaningfully to my own personal growth or the betterment of others.
Embracing Minimalism
I am a minimalistic person in general so this topic is my absolute favorite.
Quality living often intersects with the philosophy of minimalism—a conscious choice to focus on what truly matters by decluttering the unnecessary. It involves simplifying my live, shedding excess material possessions, commitments, and distractions that weigh me down. Through this process, I have create space for what brings me true joy and fulfillment.

Finding Balance and Gratitude
Me choosing to Live with an emphasis on quality doesn’t imply a rejection of quantity altogether. Instead, I like to think of its as a striking a harmonious balance between the two. It involves appreciating abundance while recognizing that an abundance of possessions or experiences doesn’t equate to a rich and meaningful life. Gratitude becomes a cornerstone, allowing me to appreciate the abundance in my life without feeling the need to constantly seek more.
It creates a world where I learn to be grateful for the now and Hopeful for the future.
