Becoming Minimalist

Own less. Live more. Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.

Encouraging Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

Written by joshua becker · 3 Comments

Never underestimate the importance of removing stuff you don’t need.

Encouragement provides us with motivation to persevere. It invites us to dream dreams of significance for our lives. And it begs us to work diligently with optimism and promise.

Overcoming the pull of consumerism is a difficult challenge regardless of our stage in life. Simplicity requires encouragement. To that end, I hope you will find motivation in these articles below.

Each post was intentionally chosen to inspire simplicity in your life. For maximum effect, find a quiet moment this weekend and enjoy them with a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

    I’m so glad I read your blog, I’ve been doing so for many years. After helping to empty 4 relatives homes I began to feel total overload. This began my journey with minimalism. I am so over thinking Somebody Has More Than Me. Now I wonder who’s going to help this person part with the overwhelming amount of “stuff”. Finally I feel I can breath.
