Over the past several years, I have been creating inspirational images for the Becoming Minimalist Facebook page. They have circulated amazingly well.
The Becoming Minimalist page has grown from 25K fans in February, 2013 to over 900K today. I’m very grateful for the response and the opportunity it has provided to expand the influence of this blog and the message of minimalism.
While we have created hundreds of pictures over the past two years, the following 10 images consistently rank as readers’ favorites. I wanted to share them with you. And I hope they inspire more simplicity in your life.
I invite you to share these pictures freely on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, or your office cubicle wall. May the inspiration for minimalism continue to grow both in and through our lives.

People won’t find happiness with things, perhaps, but these simplistic little truisms aren’t going to lead them there either. Life is more complex than minimalism presented in cutesy sayings. “Tonstant Weader fwowed up.” (Dorothy Parker)

The second quote about right or wrong friends is very true. And not just friends, it can be applied to any relationship.
People who expect you to change yourself just so you can “fit in” should be done away with from your life.

Joshua,
Thank you for these posts. This is the first I have seen them but I will be starting to follow you now. I am working on becoming this way. I am finding more and more that less is best. When there are no “things ” to distract us we tend to look to our family and friends more for entertainment, conversation, and information. I think the world could be a much better place if we all become more like this. Thank you so much.

Thankyou, Joshua, for your inspiration and guidance in simplifying and making my new life meaningful.

One of my greatest joys has been renting dumpsters and unloading junk …. several family members are hoarders and their houses make me claustrophobic!! Currently going thru my belongings yet again…..so I can leave with only my minivan and necessities only!!

I love theses beautiful images and would LOVE to purchase these in small 5 x 7 cards to put above my sink where I wash the dishes. BUT maybe that too would only be one more way of having unnecessary things.

Perhaps you can print just ONE copy and have it laminated?

I just recently began following you on Facebook. I am curious about two things. One, have you traced back the beginning of why and when people began to place so much value on having “so much stuff”in their lives?
Thanks,
I am feeling freeeee….
