It's so interesting that you look younger now than in 2018... More relaxed, calmer, in peace.

I've watched your journey from a single Man to a Husband and Father. I'm glad you answered the question on my mind, of minimalism, on how you manage the child room.

I used to be minimalistic. No, not recently due to trends. But I never needed or desired more than I used. The only big items I had were a couple of surfboards and a few guitars. I was also in the military and lived in barracks a long time.
For some reason something changed in my early 40s. I started collecting things I liked. I now have buyers regret. But what you said made me realize what changed and what I was doing. I've been using the things I surround myself with to identify who I am. Doing that itself isn't who I am.
Thank you.

Everything revolves around the toddlers. .. it's their house and you just live there 🥰🥰😄😄❤️

I’m a minimalist and have always been, in terms of belongings. My mind is cluttered and I am working on that

[gracethi]

I love the idea of clutter free zones and clutter safe zones, such a great idea for those of us with kids 🧡

[doubleleterlady]

Wow, the change from then to now is amazing! You look so much healthier, alive and full of vigor! ❤

Best thing I've done since embracing minimalist principles is creating a work uniform. One less thing I have to coordinate or decide or constantly shop for or feel overwhelmed by.

I am absolutely sooo proud of you, your tenasity, strength, sound mind, family, journey, & authentic person. Keep soaring! Congrats on new baby & sweet wife! Tonya

I’m going to offer a counter perspective. Something to think about. For me, color, and expression, knick knacks, fabrics, and art, bring me joy. I love the way my house feels filled with spirit. Obviously, there is balance, and everyone has their own expression. But I’m starting to see this trend towards minimalism, where environments are bare, and everyone dresses simplistically, and monochromaticly, as something very stultifying, as moving too far in a certain direction. We are free and sovereign spirits. We thrive on all expressions of life, including art, and color. For anyone who has the opportunity, perhaps go to Italy, to Florence, especially, wander through the museums, inhale the fragrance of the beauty. Our souls are meant to be elevated. Thank you for listening. 🙏🏻 (I’m old enough to remember… 😌)

Please do more videos on simple life! I'm trying to simplify my life. Thank you so much for your videos 🙏

The word "priorities" has been the most useful for me. It applies to overall things (e.g. buying organic is a priority for me so I can contribute to less poison being put into soil and water). It is in my face every day - what are my priorities for today? and do I prioritize my priorities (based on urgent things (produce needing to be cooked, etc), limitations (my health on that particular day and hour), fun projects I need to prep so I can do the fun part, being considerate of my housemate (making sure to immediately clean up anything I have done in the kitchen so it is always ready for him to use), donating stuff I don't need duplicates of so others will have. And sometimes the best I can do is pass on information.

The amount of peace being a minimalist creates in the home, mind, and soul is so healing. My life is simple and I can focus on my passions because of all my free time. Reading, gardening in my backyard, watching my favorite shows… very relaxing life now

[natashyas]
