Right now, I am taking on as much as possible. However, I am doing all of this in the direct line of my goals. You may be thinking that this is not minimalist-like, but the whole reason I became a minimalist is for the following reason….to fill my plate with everything I want and nothing else.
Honestly, my goal when I started becoming more of a conscious minimalist was to save more money. Once I became a full-fledged minimalist member I learned that minimalism was more than the concern about the all mighty dollar and more about the ability to focus on the aspects of life that are most important to you.
Currently, I am building a base of websites that will lead to more of an independent lifestyle that will provide for all of my life’s adventures. To get to that desired point though, I must put all of my efforts towards my ventures and their developments. The more I lose focus on this, the more likely I am not to be happy. Once again, in being a minimalist, I am able to deduct all that is insignificant.
So, I suggest that when you are addressing the lifestyle of minimalism, look at the multiple benefits to your life this change will have. I shouldn’t have just focused on the money aspect originally. Luckily, I was determined throughout and eventually came across the other benefits. I want everyone to enjoy the entire package that is provided by minimalism from the get go.
With that, try to grasp your desires and goals with a minimalist lifestyle. Your plate may be full with all of the things you need and want to do for, but eventually, your plate will be much lighter and you will be capable of just enjoying the fruits of your labor and not feel the weights of the climb to get to your dreams.
