I am willing to plunge deeply into life, suck out the marrow of life, live a solid and simple life, cleanly eliminate all content that is not part of life, push life to the edge, and use the most basic The form is simple, simple, and simpler. ——Thoreau's "Walden"

After traveling thousands of miles, life is a process of returning to nature. Simplicity is the initial appearance and the final appearance. What is the intermediate appearance called? Confusion, chasing, glitz, searching... Wandering in materialistic desires but without any sense of satisfaction.

I came into contact with "minimalism" about two years ago, and slowly understood what it is and what the concept is. From knowing, understanding, deeply feeling to practicing it, it is not a simple matter. process. I have read many good "minimalist" articles, and also read many related books. I carefully read "Departure" and "The Heart-Thrilling Way to Organize Your Life", and also read "My House Is Empty", although there are some " "Minimalism" is a bit extreme, but being able to be minimalist selectively is the real "minimalism". The best minimalism is a process of understanding rational trade-offs and choices.

There is minimalism in life, and there is even more simplicity in life. Life requires not only addition and multiplication, but also subtraction and division. Make good use of the four arithmetic operations of your life and try to find an optimal solution.

There is a good understanding in "Minimalism": "A life with fewer items can always make people feel free, give people vigorous vitality, and make people full of hope and goals. It makes people To expand on the spiritual level, not just to live as an accumulator of things. ”

Clothes, bags, perfume... cannot fill an empty person, but are controlled by these bags and clothes. The clothes make her look glamorous, and she is happy, and the perfume makes her fragrant, and she is cute... It turns out that your beauty and cuteness are all given by these materials, but people have become little puppets of clothes! Real wealth is when you wear comfortable clothes and clean bags. Although they are ordinary things, you give these ordinary things a sense of life, then you are their true master.

"Guanzi, Part 2, Mental Skills Part 2" once said: "A gentleman uses things, not for the sake of things." This is the wisdom of life left to us by the ancient sages. A wise man knows how to make use of external objects without being restrained by them. An unexamined life is not worth living. Don’t be blind to unexamined items. Only by giving up the things you don't like can your life be filled with the things you like. If you don't love them, why should they still be a hindrance? It takes courage and rationality to break up and let go. There is break and continuation, giving and gaining, separation and joining.

Stop your crazy shopping desire, open the closet and take a look at the clothes and bags that you have neglected. I think they must be sadder than you, right? Did you bring them home with great interest just to lay them aside? Use your loving eyes to re-examine the clothes and bags in your closet. If you really don’t love them anymore, then please let them go and let them find another owner. Angels will love them for you.

When there are only a few pieces of clothing in my wardrobe that I am passionate about, I won’t waste a lot of time worrying about what to wear every day. Time is precious. The older I grow, the more I understand. Relatives are getting older and children are here. Growing up is all done unconsciously. Save some time to look up at the moon and leave the sixpence thing to tomorrow.

What kind of life is an ideal life? Surrounded by beautiful things, you will grow old beautifully. Use the least material to live the most ideal life. Even if you live with soy milk and fried dough sticks, you can still live an ideal life. Don't measure beauty by price. The architect Van der Rohe has a famous saying: less is more. We know "less is more" about life, and "one is? all" about lovers. Only such a life can be called minimalist.

We don’t need much, but we want a lot. What I love most is Socrates's sentence "Know yourself!" If there is only one problem in life, it can only be yourself. Know who you are and what you want.

In life, of course we must have desires, the desire to live, the desire to love, the desire to be beautiful... The important thing is that we must examine our desires gently.

Even if there is all kinds of prosperity in this world, it will never be able to fill the empty soul. What do you need to fill your soul? Sunshine, breeze, warmth, smile, stars, moon, beautiful today, future tomorrow...

Minimalist, less but rich life. Whatever your heart desires, stay true to your past. You should spend the rest of your life with beautiful things, and you should always be obsessed with beauty.
