The Less You Want, The More You Have | Minimalist Philosophy for Living in Abundance

Learning to desire what the situation demands may require your submission to your own happiness or your own addiction.

Tell that to the poor

I'm VERY happy that I have money and possessions!

unhappiness comes from inequity, not from what you have or you dont have.

Kimo's Hawaiian Rules... "There are two ways to be rich,
Make more ...
Or Desire less."

Sunsets make me more happy than anything in life. Yes, I do have my own bed, my shoes, money to buy food and a phone.

Does anyone know the background soundtrack? One that echoes at the end as well..

I read somewhere that happiness is a state between two desires. When one ends and another begins. So seeking happiness is a desire, therefore you cant get it. Stop trying and you will get it. If you are not happy that means that you are still trying.

كلام صحيح فالعالم يحترق بسبب الأطماع و الرغبات الكبيرة جداً

Everything is like a cat, everything try chasing it and you ll never get it but have what the cat whats and you ll see what happens.

Money is like drinking from ocean water more you drink more you get thirsty

This is all very well but being satisfied with very little can result in getting very little in life. There are different ways of looking at this and being satisfied can result in few expectations of oneself and limited experience.

بسیار عالی بود. ممنونم

This method is flawed, youre basically convincing yourself to believe in a delusion that you "have things" even when you barely have anything. It only works for so long before you grow truly tired of the constant unchange. Alot of us can "try to be happy" with just a smartphone and roof over our head, we then cut our expectations in life which is the same as lowering your potential quality of life. Ignorance is bliss.

Yeah,.. do not apply for friendship,.. fake people is always trying to abuse of you,..

Also, be careful what you wish for. I was broke for most of my life, and always wished I had more momey. Now, after years of frugal living, I am retired with some modest savings. But I spend a lot of time worrying about losing those savings, and constantly get stressed out hearing about banking scams, or losing my phone or getting it stolen, and someone being able to access my account. When I was broke I had none of these worries, and was happier.

If you don't want children and marriage, you'll be free.
The government can't put you in the meat grinder.

Let them rot.

When you want more,you will be less happier when you don’t get what you want 😎😎😎

Focus what you have rather than you don't have. Be thankful. A wise advice for people seeking contentment.

Celibacy rocks. Live a moral life and live.

If there is zero needs or want you aren’t driven at all and the less needy you are the less likely you are to achieve anything like, setting yourself up for unrealistic expectations so live in a minimalistic life style yes and you won’t have any chance of even coming close to a perfect life

Its the opposite you become more poor and everything becomes more expensive, less demand means higher price. Same goes for happiness if you dont strive in life you are left empty.

The dilemma of capitalism is that if people wanted less I would have no job and income. The system is based on people overspending

If I can eat when I am hungry and sleep when I am tired, I am wealthy. Buddhist proverb.

What about your life span ,,, I think you should make yourself happy and the people who try to take advantage of you or try to bring you down and hurt you avoid them ,,, pretty simple

I grew up in a deprived area, was homeless as a teenager, owned nothing, slept under bridges. I now have a middle of the road job, a house of my own, a dog, the odd nice holiday. And I swear, I feel like a king. I will never ever take any of this for granted, it’s amazing. Just waking up in a warm bed and having hot water, heating, food, I love it all.

I work with academics from affluent backgrounds who were raised wanting for nothing. They are constantly tormented and unhappy, chasing opportunities, full of resentment.

Despite the fact my background was awful to experience at the time, I’m so grateful for it, because I have the gift of gratitude and appreciation for what I have now. I’m incredibly lucky.

i don't know i like old technology so i still collect vinyl records and i won't ever quit-minimalism isnt good if itstoo extreme

"The less we desire from the world the more abundant the world appears."

that exactly what prophet Mohammed tought us.. everyday we say this dua " oh, Allah, grant me satisfaction in that which you have provided me with and bless me in it"

Was it Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patten who said, 'If you label me, you negate me'?

Too bad determinism is true.

All the waste that goes on is very sad. People could save so much money if they didn't impulse buy and buy things they will never use. I'm guilty, too, but finally learned my lesson. Just because you save doesn't mean you have to stay home and never spend a dime

Most people spend their lives seeking “significance”. I spend my life seeking peace/contentment.
No one ever truly finds significance.

I think CONTENTMENT is the key to HAPPINESS.

drop your needs. your gonna die regardless of what you get

I'm granting everyone but I must get what I want first.

Learn to look at things for what it is and not what it isnt.

People saw this video, with moto they will have more by having a formula, but actually it is on you

Those who have enough to live, be grateful. Those who dont have enough to live, we provide them with charity in sha allah

You are the greatest Philosopher of our time dude.

Simple living, less is more!

only 0.7%~0.8% of people in the world are millionaires in dollars

I'm lucky I realized these things a decade ago when my niece died, my brother is the opposite of minimalist, he earns six figures and his still the most stressed of us 5 siblings, while me being a minimalist is living a very happy no stress life, he's also a narcissist so I can't help him

Makes me think to "The less you want, the richer you are." -Yanni
