You can keep everything…
“He who knows he has enough is rich.” Lao-Tzu
I have enough. My husband feels the opposite.
That’s been posted on a sticky note in my office for years. Good reminder!
AKA: The rich man is not the one who has what he wants, but rather the one who wants what he has…
Personally, the whole concept of minimalism seems to be a great way of reconnecting with myself and my needs, and forgetting about unnecessary (or even unwanted) material luxury. Of course “unnecessary” is arbitrary, but at least it helps redefining.
It starts to decomplicate my life, even within a couple of weeks.
I want things I don’t have and I have things I don’t want. Which one am I? The realistic one.
Minimalism doesn’t necessarily enhance.
So the richest men can not be ladies :-)))
a lady on her vay to wealth. !
Or a child…
Great quote! Food for thought, it reminds us that we live in a world where most people have a need for more. We should all take on the mindset of the rich man!
