The Minimalist Mindset

by Danny Dover

minimalism isn’t about minimizing, instead it is about maximizing what really matters in life.

Real life is not like a Disney movie. Adults have many responsibilities (including but not limited to time and money), many difficulties (time and money) and many limitations (again, time and money).

how does one live life well?

addition isn’t possible without subtraction.

mindset is a perspective through which ideas are filtered. An idea can burn out quickly, but a mindset lasts.

To gain a new mindset you need to repeatedly practice habits. Habits, not ideas, are the programming language of human beings.

We live in a world that constantly offers additions, thus your focus and efforts are best spent on deciding what to subtract.
