In the words of the late Alan Watts. “The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

“Simplify your life. Don’t waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. Don’t burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. Don’t destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!” - Henry David Thoreau

I started adapting a minimalist lifestyle very recently, learning minimalist lifestyle right here on you channel and a ton of other has really inspired me, and for the few months that I have started I have really see a change not only on my perspective to life and all the things around me but also a chance to get to know myself better. I come from a Latino background (from Dominican Republic) and for us having more means we are worthy or that we have more than other. Growing up with this mentality was very unhealthy and it drained my souls to the fullest. I am glad that I was able to get out of that mentality and that way of thinking and living. Now I feel happier I live in New York City but I bought land in the Dominican Republic a town area, where I can breath fresh air, rivers around the are, beach and I can live a peaceful life with less! As soon as I finish my house and save some money I am moving. (In DR you don’t need much to live good compare to the US) Thanks to all the KZbinr and people that really put their hearts into helping other achieve that free mind.

The biggest thing I've realized lately is that the more money you have, the more money you will want to spend. So you never really feel like you have enough. That's why I really like the idea mentioned in this video of learning how to be satisfied with what you already have. This is especially true of us in the first world. We get carried away by envy and comparison and believe the lie that other people live happier lives than us because they have all this stuff, that they are "living the dream". But the fact is that the only reason they have all this stuff is because they are stressed out all the time trying to maintain their excessive lifestyles. And if they stopped pushing to get more and more stuff then they would realize that happiness was already within their reach. The irony is that people in the third world that come to live in the first world have a tendency to become like this the most. They have lived their whole lives in poverty feeling envy for those in the first world who have everything they need. So when they come to live here and get a job, they carry their envy with them and buy into the lie that they need more and more stuff. Their family back home wonder why they are so stingy in sending money. But the family doesn't realize that the "cost of living is much higher" where we live. You never feel like you have enough.

The saddest thing is that most people view success in life as having all the best material and comfort this world can offer, they work hard their whole lives aiming to chase this illusion, they attach themselves to the things they own: The more they have, the more they are, the better and more expensive their lifestyles are, the bigger their sense of importance is. Flashy and shimmering, that's the dream, which leads them to taking careers and jobs they don't really love because it's the fastest path towards their flashy dreams, so they endure having to do the work they are not really passionate on doing, only motivation is the money which will sustain their crazy and rich lifestyles. What a sad existence. Materials are just materials, how we live and dedicate our lives to the service of others doing the work we love and are passionate about, and how we cherish and enrich our relationships with the ones that matter to us are ultimately what truly matter and worth our short lives living for..

It's funny I have attained more money over the years(decent living could be better) and never was materialistic and still am not. I don't even buy too much luxury crap. Last thing I regret buying in that aspect was a smart TV. I've bad it for maybe 2 and a half years and realized I never turn it on cuz I use my old TV with my console that I also watch stuff on. I could get the latest console but I simply don't care to or desire to get caught up in them anymore.

'This is especially true of us in the first world'. Did you just say this. FIRST WORLD. so white people in the western world created different worlds (I see you think you are in the first one, LOL ) Who made you God to put down other people in a xenophobic racist way to asset that other people, other countries are of a different world to your 1st world. I assume you mean 2nd or 3rd world because this is the term white westerners use to demonize, hate, and categorize people that look different to them with the inference that they are nothing more than uncivilized animals.

I have seen this IRL. A family member met and then married a guy from Africa. I was there visiting and met him several times when they lived in Africa. Relaxed, cool and happy dude, worked as a pool cleaner at a resort. Worked like 4-5 hours a day and had so little stress in his life. He had time to meet up with friends, take care of his child etc etc. He didnt make so much but it was enough to survive and be happy. He then moved to a western country and started working with caretaking of elders. Now he works 10-12 hours a day doesnt have time for friends and hardly any time for his kids. Sure he can send home some money but its still not enough to go around for everyone. When I met him told him he had a very nice life with much freedom and time to manage himself, he looked at me like I was crazy. Now he tells me that he understand what i meant.

Being a minimalist of many years it's inclusive of so much including minimal time online, tv, sitting too much, and closing doors on people whom I don't connect with anymore. Yes Living a simple non-complex life and choosing a social setting of people that boost my energies, are positive makes for a very fulfilling life. I'm an old soul and more an introvert but carry a good balance of socializing and then my alone time.

I think it is interesting that when you look at illustrations of "minimalism" you always have a workdesk in the center and a laptop on top of it. Never a book, a scrapbook, a workbench, anything else. The homes are empty, white/grey/beige and deprived of any personal stuff, like pictures or anything that hints an hobby, a personal connection to people or anything else.

Since becoming more of a minimalist I feel so much more organised, clear minded & free. Everything in my life has a purpose; no clutter or unnecessary objects. You realise jewellery, cars & clothes don't make you who you are. It leaves much more time for the things that actually matter in life. Working on your character to speak for who you are, rather than stuff you own that isn't you.

Oddly enough, I kind of exemplified some aspects of minimalism before I knew the term. All I really need are the basics: food, clothing, shelter. Most of my wants are either accessible with the internet or spare cash (old video games played by ahem, "totally legit" means, the occasional fast food meal), are available for free or cheap (books from the library, visiting local events), or are things that money can't buy (being a hobby artist, keeping up with friends and family now and again as an adult). I don't like clutter in my apartment, and there's a surprising amount of space in my simple two-room. I tend to give away or sell things that are collecting dust. I only buy enough groceries that could fit into a backpack, which gives me good reason to walk more often. Ideally I'd use a flip phone (helps I'm a 00s-nostalgic fop and know I use the internet too much), but right now I'm still on a smartphone plan; when that expires though, cheap dumbphone it is. And before I got my current used Chromebook, there was a good appeal to just use the local library's computers if I had to go online for anything. I am incredibly lucky to have this opportunity and mindset, but like all things, it's not for everyone. And there's definitely days where I wish I wasn't broke much of the time. But personally, between getting by just fine with less stuff or having a silver spoon in my mouth (or being jealous of those who were) and being empty for it, I think I got the better deal.

I agree with @John Oakely. I'm very particular about people in my tiny social circle. I like people general, but not interested in being friends with many. I love my alone time so I appreciate not having visitors all the time. I've reduced my social media life from extremely busy to almost zero. I love it. I hate to say it aloud, but the lockdown was a nice time for me, too bad it had to come about from world-wide illness. Nobody talks about those of us who were NOT affected negatively emotionally or psychologically by lockdown. Living in a city, it was nice to have no social obliations, didn't run into neighbours, the streets were BEAUTIFULLY empty and quiet.

I have been in production (industrial) all my working life, making things faster for all the consumers out there, it amounted to a hole in the ground, where my work ended up. I myself, have always preserved my possessions, and always felt relaxed, by having constant about my being. Just my thoughts, on a excellent video, as usual. Peace be unto you.

Something glossed over when trying to be moderate is that with most products, social media included, they always want to increase the addictiveness of the product while reducing the quality (cost). So, when we outsource our food preparation, for example, we get less in return over time. With something like social media, what was once a useful tool become more addictive and with less useful content. The product changes, but our loyalty to that brand has only grown stronger. They get you to buy in, like promises from a politician, but things change after we've let them into our castle. What we were convinced was an asset turned into a vampire. However, we need to understand that it was a potential vampire all along because that is the system. If we can understand that these things happen, we can mitigate risk and take back some control over our lives.

How did you get SO SMART so young? I always thought I was a paranoid conspiracy nut when I began to notice the quality go down in my fav foods and alcohol. My favorite rye bread got airier, thinner, and tasteless. My fav brand of beer got lighter and less flavorful. Am I nuts?? I wondered. Thanks to you for helping me know I'm not crazy. ✌

Reminds me of my only real vice (besided overthinking, lol), food! I'm a minimalist with my stuff, but I always think I need a substantial amount of food. I'm kind of a hoarder with food. I actually don't have a lot of food in my apartment, but I think too much about food and I use food for every emotional need, and, also (I figured out the other day) as a diversion so that I don't think. When I'm anxious I often seek food. It's a panacea for me. No wonder it's such a hard thing to overcome! Instead of dismissing it as trivial, I need to accept it's a big problem and I need help with getting it under control.

Over Eaters Anonymous or Weight Watchers. Both help with dealing with 'emotional eating'. You're an addict. You need help. Food addictions are difficult to break all by yourself. Group support is really helpful. You can do it! But remember that you are a worthy person who deserves love and respect JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. Go and do better ❤.

Complicated thinking is perhaps one of the most difficult things that we have before us in this culture. It seems futile to live in a modern society and to live in such a way that life is a blur. We reach old age only to realize how short life is and how lacking the quality of our life has been. Most people seem discontent even though they literally have everything. To not be stuck in survival affords one a chance to look around and see what is truly meaningful.

I'm staying in the apartment but I have started process of getting rid of clutter. Including excessive amounts of everything. Packing it up and throwing things out everyday. Preparing for new carpeting and painting. My Kitchen Only has 2 plates , bowls etc. Oh yes I had a lot to get rid of but I did. My son is age 30 I will never make large casseroles again. Glad that I am doing it right now before I move in a couple of years.
