Do you believe that less is more?

The saying “less is more” is very true for me. The simple things in life is what is important.

There was a point in my life that I just want to buy things I don’t need. Upon reaching home, I just kept them on drawers and cabinets for I don’t have an immediate need for it. Sometimes you buy things hoping that you will need it in the near future as gift or a token to people you want to reward it with.

People have the tendency to accumulate things. Things that were acquired because we felt like just buying it. It is different if you buy things for investment purposes. That is a very different kind of acquisition.

I love the Japanese ways of being minimalist. They acquire things that will just be needed in the daily grind of life. Japanese people are very clean in their ways. To do away with these cleaning, most Japanese now opted to be a minimalist. It is easier to clean and easier to organize.

Not just the Japanese, even some fashion designers, like Vera Wang, would rather have a simple style in designing clothes. You can never go wrong by sticking to the basic designs in fashion. You can just mix and match everything.

I took up some months of Interior Designing course, and I loved designs that are basic and simple. It is easier to clean and you can re-arrange furniture now and then without having the difficulty of moving many pieces of furniture around.

Sometimes by being a minimalist, the best things in life surfaces in the simplest of things around us. We appreciate things that are free like the plants that adorn our gardens, the fresh air we breathe, the rising and setting of the sun and all other things God created for us to enjoy, free of charge.

    • I sometimes buy unnecessary things whenever I earn extra.. but sometimes I would also feel to keep those extra money reserved for future use.

      • Sometimes we are influenced by advertisements we see in print or on the commercials feed to us by these big businesses.

        They tease our senses so we will be tempted to try the things they offer the viewers.

    • I also like to be a minimalist, with lots of space at home instead of so many clutter around. It looks clean and more air circulating in the house.

      Years ago, I also love to stash things instead of giving it away to people who need it, due to some feeling of nostalgia or some sentimental value to those things. Then I decided I had to give them away for more space at home.

      • You are so right! By being a minimalist, it will give us that much needed space to give us the freedom to move around so easily.

        Sometimes we really tend to be a horder for it is hard to part things that have some sentimental value.

    • no i do not beleive in that, to accept the less do not mean its more, but it means it is enough, more is not bad, yet it depend on what we are talking about, easy less hard really more
