I want to do less...have less yet be fulfilled and content in my scarcity of stuff. I am in perpetual decluttering of my home and my body...in and out. One day I shall arrive...less and peacefully filled with joy. Thank you for reminding me. helen s. I agree. I want to do less…have less yet be fulfilled and content in my scarcity of stuff.

I agree with you completely! I've not thought much about a minimalistic lifestyle but this is very thought provoking. Thanks for this post. I agree with you completely!

For example, lots of entertainers have videos of their skits online that are over five minutes long. When viewing some of them, a lot of the footage is totally unnecessary. I've taken a lot of my older videos that were longer and cut out the unneeded parts, sometimes cutting as much as two minutes out of a four minute skit. My video ended up looking a LOT better!

I have a lot to de-clutter, but looking forward to having more peace through having less stuff as I apply more and more minimalist principles. Keep the minimalist advice coming! P.S. I'm trying to get my 17 year old daughter on the minimalist bandwagon. Maybe you could do a post that provides tips for high school or college kids. Starting young seems the way to go.

Imagine a world in which those who have too much were thinking about how they could make sure those who have too little have enough Enough is a feast but you cannot ever get enough of what you don't really need. what if instead of over consuming we took the money we would have spent on over doing and donated it to a charity like Heifer International or a Food Bank- where would the world be then?
