Thank God for this week prompt (week 114) it gave me time to reflect on so many things. let's quickly take a look at what the prompt says;
What are your top three reasons for choosing a minimalist? Illustrate your choice with some snapshots from your daily life
Everyone has a reason for living the way they are living, as for me, my reasons are not far fetched. Just grab your popcorn and let's gist about it 😄 I promise you I am not gonna bore you with long talk....
- Spending on things that matters: I can't see myself buying what I did not plan to buy. Never! I don't like spending unnecessary money which is why I prioritise what is important, buying what I truly need and not just buying for buying sake. That's why, I can't really remember the last time I bought clothes for myself and that's because there's no need, the money I will use in buying clothes will go a long way on pot of soup 😂
Having less but being contented; Let's be true to ourselves, it is not easy to have less and still be looking like you have everything. I am the type of person that doesn't like stress so I am always okay with what I have even if it's not much. For instance, I have only two footwear in my entire life 😂 I use one for church and the other one for normal outing. Believe me, if you see me in this footwears, you will know there is a sense of fulfillment and contentedness within me, you will think I have everything because the way I will be smiling alone will confuse you😂
Seeking inner peace; You know there's nothing like living a life without peace, I mean, that's a waste of living, lol! Knowing that, I am going to the Market to buy things that matters alone gives me peace, watching myself been content with the little I have give me joy. Not thinking of material things, or how I can buy the latest shoe gives me peace. I priotize gratitude even when what I have seems like it's not enough and this gives me peace of mind as well.
