Minimalist life: living with purpose

Tweet

I decided to go on this subject because it's been bugging me for some time now. I saw many explained ways on how to go minimalist, throwing away what you don't need anymore and so on, and even saw many YouTube videos featuring tiny houses, that I decided it's time to give it a try. In time, I kinda started to love the idea of living with meaning, when you don't have to lose your head looking for some item you can't remember where you put it last time you used it, just because you don't have thatmuch space to lose it in the first place! While from the outside might seem easy to implement, when I took a closer look into minimalist life it looked more threading than it was at first impression. And that's because of our perception. We grew to believe that we need so much stuff that we can't live without it, when instead there are very little we would need to live a beautiful, simpler life. And to put this into a picture, imagine state of necesity, when all the world as you know it now is gone, with no markets to buy stuff from...what would you really need? Shelter. For sure, a warm one if it's cold outside. Water. Your first thought, I need water to survive. Food. Will become a luxury, and that fancy sequin dress or that golden watch will be kind of dull to have, unless you find a way to transform those into ....well, water, food, shelter. The whole idea of this article is to bring awareness that we tend to spend too much on stuff we don't need - especially now in the Christmas season - and forget to focus on what really matters: family and friends. Quality time spent together with the lived ones. Being present. Being aware of how beautiful life is. Would you go minimalist?
