Minimalism: Much more to life than just buying stuff

October 25, 2015 by Glasshouse Country 1 Comment

I’m a huge fan of Joshua Becker who inspires people to find happiness living with less.  He explains how People won’t find happiness with things, and how by pursuing a more simplistic life we are able to achieve more and be better people.   I am an avid reader of his website and emails and I am sure you will find his website an amazing and helpful source of encouragement .  http://www.becomingminimalist.com

Readers like myself, who live on the Sunshine Coast are wonderfully positioned to choose a more simplistic, healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, if only we can ‘off load’ some of the many distractions we face and focus on what is truly important in life.

Joshua recently sent out a newsletter inviting his readers to share these 10 pictures freely on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr. I hope these 10 images will encourage you to look at his website and be encouraged by the fact that owning and having more won’t make you any happier than you already are.

One of the many reasons I enjoy Joshua writing is his unique style and that he writes from a christian perspective and is committed to the idea what we were created for much more important things than pursuing materialism and consumerism.

My favourite quote is that “if you are not content today, there is nothing you could buy this weekend to change that.”
