Frugality
Your Qualities
I accomplish “MORE” with less
Frugality does not mean saving money. I can be frugal with more things than money. I can also “SAVE TIME” or “OPTIMIZE RESOURCES”.
Frugality actually means that constraints can help “DRIVE CREATIVITY” & “INNOVATION”. After all, if you don’t have money to spend, you’ll have to find ways to do things more cheaply or efficiently.
Constraints breeds resourcefulness, self sufficient, innovation, improvisation and invention.
I understand that we do not have unlimited resources. Resource constraints is not a huge problem that will stop me from succeeding; it’s something I can deal with.
“TIME” is money. “RESOURCES” are money I am frugal with TIME & RESOURCES.
