Abundance exists only where fear doesn’t.Minimalism is the amplification of spaciousness.Simplicity doesn’t eliminate excitement; it minimizes the chase.Happiness is a team sport.Your home is a blank canvas upon which a calm or chaotic life can be painted.Going without is the price of simplicity.Space is to control what fire is to gold: it removes the excess to reveal what is essential.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeAdded Value: “Scars”Article: “Millions of U.S. Homes Are Sitting Vacant, So Why Are Homes Still So Expensive?”Blog: The Minimalists Book: How to Be Here Book: Minimalism Counseling: Clutter CounselingEvent: Sunday SymposiumFilm: Less is NowFilm: MinimalismInstructions: Update Private RSS FeedPodcast: HedonismPodcast: Lights OnPodcast: Nontrasactable GoodsPodcast: The Science of HappinessResource: Values WorksheetWatch: I’m On My Own AgainWatch: Set The Stage RuleWebsite: INDYXWebsite: Jordan Know Moore Website: ToycycleYouTube: George KamelFollow Our TeamJoshua Fields MillburnRyan NicodemusT.K.
