Inspiring Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

inspired-simplicity

Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show.

The simplicity/minimalism movement is a beautiful community. It is friendly, encouraging, and helpful. There is a genuine understanding that any promotion of simplicity is good for society—and there is little concern over who gets the credit.

It is a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful group of people. And I enjoy every opportunity to promote writing that encourages people to live more by owning less.

So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Find a quiet moment this weekend. And enjoy some encouraging words to inspire more simplicity in your life today.

A Heart Filled With Love, Not Stuff | The New York Times by Jenny Qi. “I am finally detaching from my relics and moving toward a life that feels like my own.”

Opt Out: A Simplicity Manifesto | Zen Habits by Leo Babauta. Our lives become filled, even controlled, by the things we think we need to do. We think we can’t live without these things, but actually, we can.

Why I Don’t Want Stuff | Sivers by Derek Sivers. “I haven’t received anything for Christmas or my birthday in almost 20 years.”

The Average American Today Is Richer than John D. Rockefeller | FEE by Donald J. Boudreaux. She is incalculably richer, in fact.

5 “Secrets” to Living the Good Life | Goins, Writer by Jeff Goins. If you want to live a good life, you have to explore uncomfortable questions like, “Why am I doing this?” and, “Just because I can do this, should I?”
