Simply The Relentless Pursuit Of Personal Growth

Hello, I’m Ted, a.k.a. Mr. Simplicity, and this Blog is a guide to understanding our world and ourselves a little better.

Several years ago I hit rock bottom and I had a choice, to continue on my path of self destruction or to change my life around.

Fortunately I chose the second one.

I decided to read every book, listen to every podcast, and watch every YouTube video I could on Personal Development.

I used the tactics that I learned and that were helpful for my situation.

The Simplicity Lifestyle Blog was born.

After living The Simplicity Lifestyle for a couple of years I began to noticed a change in myself.

I became obsessed with learning new unbiased Truths about our world.

I’m a fan of reading but reading takes a lot of attention, energy, and time so I turned to Videos and Podcasts.

I quickly discovered that there is a plethora of high quality information out there and it’s easily understood, fun to listen to and watch, and, most importantly, Free!

Golden Truth was there If One was willing to sift through the overburden!

This Blog is dedicated to bringing you that Gold served on a Silver Platter.

Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught. We acquire knowledge by reaching an understanding about a subject.

We are exposed to a constant continual barrage of data, but what do we do with all of this information?

If we listen to the entire cacophony of incoming stimulation coming from our environments our heads would probably explode so we need to filter out the superfluous noise.

This is accomplished through labeling, sorting, and structuring our thinking processes.

A solid grasp of basic fundamentals is necessary to creating a strong foundation to build on.

The fundamentals are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Neuropsychology, Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, History, Government, Economics, Accounting, Personal Development, and Technology.

High Schools and Undergrad Universities are institutions that facilitate building a good foundation that is hopefully rooted in Truth, but not everyone can go to these institutions.

Luckily, we can build our own strong foundation without spending an exorbitant amount of time, energy, and money.

The information is out there and readily available!

In this blog I’ve provided links that are a good starting point.

Remember to pace yourself so you don’t burn out, maybe just watch a couple of videos a day.

I also recommend you get a learning journal to write down things you find interesting or useful.

Let’s see where your curiosity will take you!
