Try living for a week on $5 a day.
Since I started downsizing my life, I had to develop parallel skills. I learned:
to appreciate what I've got
to accept genuine gifts
to step on my pride with humility
to have compassion for people that need money to express their dreams
to face hardships such as hunger, physical pain, exhaustion
to be self-reliant
to be interdependent
