“It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.”

Rabindranath Tagore

Simplified Meaning:

Being happy doesn't require a lot of things. It's about finding joy in small, everyday moments. You can be happy just by watching a sunset, spending time with family, or listening to your favorite song. Happiness is about appreciating what you already have. On the other hand, leading a simple life is much harder. It's difficult to not get caught up in wanting more possessions, more achievements, or more recognition. Society often pushes us to always aim for more, which complicates our lives. For example, someone might feel they need the latest gadgets or the highest paying job to feel successful. To make your life simpler, you might need to say no to extra responsibilities or less important activities. You might choose to spend weekends relaxing instead of taking on more work. By making life simpler, you get more time and space to enjoy those moments that bring true happiness.
