How do people living simple lifestyles find purpose?
Many people believe that living a minimalist or straightforward lifestyle is possible without. I could not disagree more. Is it possible to say that living simply and living the minimalist lifestyle means being without consumerism, materialism, repetitiveness, commonness, and keeping up with the Joneses?
Finding Purpose By Living a Simple Lifestyle
I am not saying that living simply or living the minimalist lifestyle will define your purpose, but it will help clear a path for you to find some of the purposes in life. Life can be filled with a lot of useless garbage and noise, fighting for your attention.
I would say 90% of the activity in the average person’s life is useless garbage and noise. Most of it isn’t needed to achieve your most coveted goals.
Living a simple Lifestyle helps you focus and block out the useless garbage and noise that permeate life in most societies.
People who are living become laser-focused on what is really important to them and learn to suppress useless wants and desires.
When you don’t waste time thinking about consumerism, materialism, what car, toys, or clothing to buy, and keep up with the Joneses, you have more time to focus on purpose and feel freer to pursue it.
Your attention isn’t constantly hijacked by things that don’t really matter, leaving you to think more deeply about life. This becomes more common in the life of a person living a simple, minimalist lifestyle.
What Does Finding Purpose In Life Mean To You?
One person’s purpose for living will not be another’s. That is found, and the beauty of it all. I believe we would all agree that any distractions that keep you from seeing or pursuing your life’s purpose are not good things.
Most people are still asking Why the hell am I here? What the hell am I supposed to be doing with my life? Many get distracted by consumerism, materialism, repetition, and keeping up with the Joneses.
We may shop, eat, and spend time at the mall because we are bored. It is said we buy stuff we don’t need to impress people we don’t even like.
Have you found your purpose in life? Are you still looking? Are you even looking? Do you even care? Are you happy with the latest toys and apparel, and is the mall your purpose? 😉
