Minimalist Lifestyle
Thank God I found this blog. It’s called Zen Habits and it’s about minimalism, which I define as a philosophy of living life will less. If you noticed in this blog, it’s quite plain and simple. I don’t consider it boring though, I picked this theme because I found beauty in it’s simplicity.
After reading some more of the posts on Zen Habits, I realized that there’s really a lot to improve upon when it comes to stripping down to the essentials and it very much applies not just in blogging but also in life. My friends would maybe not fully understand (even ridiculing) me about how I react to things (yeah, I talking about that bodyart thing and a few others) but I dont mind because I believe that “Simple questions need simple answers”, and that’s a very nice thing.
I find myself unhappy sometimes because I’m not satisfied with how I live my life, because there are issues that I just cannot deal with and they just pile up on top of each other. I believe this is because there is so much clutter that I just have to sit down and think about what I really need (to do) and what I don’t. Hopefully, this can clear my head up and I’ll be able to deal with them one by one.
the cause of suffering and unhapiness is wanting something and not getting it..so in order to achieve perfect happiness you must detach yourself from everything…
We just have to strip down all the non-essential things that we want, because most likely they are the things that we can’t have. Not really detach yourself from everything, binlan ta man self ta
