Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life

by Joshua Fields Millburn

The truth is that nearly all the pressure we feel is completely internal.

Happiness comes from within, from inside yourself, from living a meaningful life.

Minimalism looks different for everyone because it’s about finding what is essential to you.

Minimalism is a tool we use to live a meaningful life. There are no rules. Rather, minimalism is simply about stripping away the unnecessary things in your life so you can focus on what’s important. Ultimately, minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things so we can focus on life’s most important things—which actually aren’t things at all.

Minimalism is a tool to eliminate life’s excess, focus on the essentials, and find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.

Five Values that allow us to live a meaningful life: 1. Health 2. Relationships 3. Passions 4. Growth 5. Contribution

Without your health you’re unable to enjoy even the simplest things in life.

if you’re like most people, you focus most of your time, effort, and attention on the group of people who matters least to you. This must change.

T.A.R.A.: Tolerate, Accept, Respect, and Appreciate.
