The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life

This is from the book: "The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life" by Leo Babauta.
You can find it here.



What is a minimalist life?


It's one that is stripped of the unnecessary, to 
make room for that which gives you joy. 


It's a removal of clutter in all its forms,
leaving you with peace and freedom and
lightness.


A minimalist eschews the mindset of more, of
acquiring and consuming and shopping, of
bigger is better, of the burden of stuff.


A minimalist instead embraces the beauty of
less, the aesthetic of spareness, a life of
contentedness in what we need and what
makes us truly happy.


A minimalist realizes that acquiring stuff
doesn't make us happy. That earning more
and having more are meaningless. That
filling your life with busy-ness and
freneticism isn't desirable, but something to
be avoided.


A minimalist values quality, not quantity, in 
all forms.
