Minimalism, a real source of Happiness
“The
simplest things are often the truest.” -Richard Bach, 1936.
What
is minimalism?
Minimalism
refers to owning less possessions and adopting simplicity. It is a broad term,
carries meanings differently. The contemporary era demands it and discourages
consumerization that has spoiled the roots of humanity.
Less
is More
For a minimalist,
less is always more. Less possession of goods provides him happiness, and inner
satisfaction; makes him more focused and consistent. Accumulating more things
however, is a source of discomfort and dissatisfaction in life. One becomes
happy with less stuff and targets his new goals in life. Are you agree with it?
Decluttering
Decluttering the
things makes house organized and well-managed. Cluttering the things on the
other hand, provides a messy look. Keeping the essentials at your home only
provide an organized and managed look. Moreover, having less stuff at home
saves our energy for the utilization of more creative tasks. Precisely, it does
not help in organizing the house but helps in shaping the personality of an
individual as well.
It
is intentionally
Minimalism is not
accidently, but intentionally; valuing few things in life, sideline the
formalities and adopting simplicity, bring tranquility in the life. Promoting
few things and makes the life happy with the limited resources is the core
agenda of a minimalist’s life. In short, it is an intentional act which demands
diving into the deep sea for simplicity and makes one more contemplative about
passion and values.
Freedom
from Consumerization Mania
Craze of shopping
and storing more stuff has made a contemporary person, slaves of fashions and
trends. Brimming of wardrobes with the trendy attires, shoes and other items
pinpoints one’s crazy attitude toward the fashion. Minimalism however, helps us
to break the shackles of consumerization and makes us freedom from it to spend
life simply and peacefully.
Good
bye to Ostentatious Life
Minimalism
promotes simplicity and good byes to the ostentatious life style. Ads,
promotions and subscriptions are catchy, adds artificial colors in life but a
minimalist offences these fake colors and images. His affection with nature
provides him peace of mind.
Economic
Stability
A minimalist always spends a happy and harmonious life,
does not waste his life in the labyrinths of debt. Spending money on essentials
makes him stable economically. His frugality discourages the glitter of
advertisements and subscriptions and makes him stable financially.
Society
is important
Society is the
first priority of a minimalist. Apropos, keeping harmonious relationships is
the core agenda of his life. Family gathering is more important than shopping
for him. Sharing good ideas with friends and families and collecting good
memories with them are the source of relief and happiness. Moments in life are
precious and the minimalist enjoys his moments in the recollection of sweet
memories.
Minimalism
provides freedom
Minimalism is the best instrument to provide freedom from
fear, worry, overwhelm, guilt, debt and trapping of consumer culture. Self
furthermore, is important for a minimalist which compels him to explore himself.
He breaks the unseen chains of the society and remains happy in his life. His
unmasked face makes him prominent among society and is always known with his
originality.
To sum up, minimalism is the actual demand of the contemporary
society because the world is entrapped with the unseen chains of inflation and
consumerization. Each individual is their slave and pays heavy prices to pay
off installments, loans and debts of his luxury house, car and other items.
Conversely, basic goal of our life is to spend a harmonious, tranquil and
joyous life rather satisfaction of the materialistic desires. Racing of
material accumulation has detracted us from our real destination and make us
forget the actual meanings of our life. Now, we have to lighten up its real
meaning and spend a harmonious life by adopting minimalism.
