The rich man isn’t the one who has the most, but rather the one who needs the least.
Own less. Live more.

I have enough. My husband feels the opposite.

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.

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!
