How to Be a Minimalist

I want you to take a good look at what's in front of you right now: your computer. Would you die if you didn't have your computer? Nope. "But I need it to work," you say. "I need it for school." Would you die if you lost your job? Would you die if you weren't going to school? Nope. I see it now: the dawning realization. You are an incorrigible hoarder. You have so much stuff that you bought a giant box of stuff to put all your stuff in. You call it a "house." I call it a "liability." Just one more thing that takes your money, sucks away your time, and clutters up your brain and your life. Would you die if you didn't have your house? Not immediately. So it's time for a change. Empower yourself! Dispose of the junk obsession that's ruling your life and you'll find the joy of utter emptiness minimalism.
