We grew up believing that the way to be happy was to accumulate all the material goodies of life. That was the way to attain more leisure, more freedom, and more options. Ride the highways in your new car. Be the envied hostess with your new house and all the furnishings. Express your individuality with your new wardrobe. Education, travel, and technology were all supposed to make life so wonderful.
But working to earn enough to buy all the toys made us stressed-out slaves to our jobs, never satisfied for long. There was always something newer or bigger to acquire. Eventually, some of realized that owning 40 shirts, 20 pairs of shoes, and all-new appliances didn't make life better.
Minimalism is more than a fad, more than a design statement, and more than decluttering. It's an effective tool for living an intentional life. If we all woke up from our consumerist dream and stopped being influenced by the influencers, I think we'd all want this.
Minimalism just makes sense. Exploring Minimalism will help you discover the whys, hows, and first steps to a more fulfilling life.
