St. Paisios the Athonite: Whoever wants to live the real spiritual life, first has to settle with less things...

People today have made their lives difficult, because they are never satisfied with less but chase after the material things. 

Whoever wants to live the real spiritual life, first has to settle with less things. 

When their lives are simple without too much worry, then they will be freed from the secular mind and they will have time left over for prayer. Or else they will be tired trying to follow the fashion, they will be losing their serenity and win the big stress.
