Minimalism means intentionally living with less and enjoying a more simple meaningful life.
Many of us can agree that ‘things’ don’t make us truly happy. Once you understand that there are pursuits in life that offer more fulfillment and longer-lasting satisfaction than collecting physical possessions you are closer to finding inner peace.
Live More By Owning Less
Minimalism is not only about cutting back on material possessions but realizing that they distract us from true happiness and what is really important.
Everything we possess requires time, money, attention, energy, and focus. The more we own, the more distant and preoccupied we become.
Owning less provides an opportunity to do more. Our finite resources can be better used on; a passion project, traveling, or helping a non-profit organization.
We all are passionate about different things and I think we genuinely want to make a difference. Minimalism allows us to do that. It provides the opportunity to spend less, own less, and care for less. Therefore it frees up our time and resources to help a struggling coworker, a family member with a medical bill, a single parent in need, or volunteering.
Minimalism is truly a blessing in disguise, having less does not equate to being unhappy but on the other hand, intentionally living with less brings a sense of happiness and ensures you focus only on the important stuff in life.
To all my current and aspiring minimalists, own less, live more and be happy.
