"I have no interest in competing with other people..." Thank you

You are so right! I am now 60 years old and I always wanted to live a simple, debt free life. I was able to reach that goal in my mid-fifties. My wife and I are fortunate to live just a few mile from city center but in a condo adjacent to a beautiful river and parks. I have a morning routine of having a coffee, interesting discussions with my wife, reading the newspaper. The rest of the day is pretty much free for doing what I like. I limit my interactions with people who are talking only about themselves and their possessions. That includes limiting interactions with family members when I’m able to avoid a family reunion. I own an iPhone 7, it works perfectly fine! I take long walk in the woods and long bike rides in the country side. This lifestyle allows me to take my 86 year old mother for lunch every second week and spend quality time with her, i fully realize that her time left on this planet is now limited. I refuse to compare myself or to compete with others about money, possessions, etc.

I got divorced, bought a small condo, painted it with fun colors and have just what I need. I have a cat, good coffee, books and my art supplies.

If someone wants to poo poo me because I don't have whatever material thing they think I should, I tell them to have a nice day and I keep moving along.

Went on a 2.5 hr drive yesterday to visit family and drove the speed limit. Every single semi, truck and car passed by me, and some passed me by a 15 -20mph margin. I simply wasn’t up to barreling and racing to keep up with the world rather choosing to stay in my lane and enjoy the little trip. Must we fly everywhere, all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in a fit of rage and “productivity?” I just want quiet and settled peace and I aim to live my life this way.

randallhill - I understand. I am not there myself. In order for me to be there for the majority of the time driving, I have to also work on other areas of my life and simplify those areas. I must be extremely organized and allow plenty of time to drive everywhere ahead of time at the speed limit. And, I must be mentally prepared, because to drive at that speed on most roads is almost certainly going to result in lots of anger aimed towards me, horns blowing, rage filled, very dangerous psssing of me.... so it’s almost causing much more stress to go at the limit than if you sped like everyone else. 😩 I just didn’t feel like flying that day. I’ve had a lot going on with my family, Ive had to make many personal adjustments in the past few years with family events and I simply wanted to make the visit and not be full of anxiety after being pushed along for 2.5hours. The way we drive today is simply unnecessary. It’s anxiery inducing and cuts off years from our lives. We can do better and we will do better as we do it more each day. 🌱

Well said, we (my husband and I) have a small simple homestead and it brings us much joy, we dont grow enough of anything to "live independently" and are fine with the realization that we need others, God designed us to be part of a community. Its a joy to find something you are good at and enjoy doing and doing it in a simple way. We dont have to go over the top with things or seek to be "self sufficient" just enjoy the gifts God has given you, use them to bring him glory, share with others and its truly a joyful way to live. The promises given by attaining more are empty and will never satisfy. Jesus brings joy and He says with food and ramient be content. He knows just what we need. Overabundance, unless we give it away, becomes a burden.

Love this. Gave up social media 18 months ago and it's been bliss! Only watch the news from time to time because I feel it gives nothing to society and only makes me miserable. We rent our house because we simply cannot afford to buy (Australia is obscenely expensive), and so it is what it is. I have accepted that I will be renting for the rest of my life. I limit how much I work (at my low-paying but very low-stress job) because I have caring responsibilities, and I refuse to sacrifice my mental and physical wellbeing on the altar of consumerism. It gives me time to read, cook, garden, write, create, spend time with friends and family, and to enjoy my life. This is worth more than money. ❤

We also rent here in our area of the USA. Housing has become very expensive and in our late 50’s the last thing we want is a huge mortgage with huge payments. We are happy renting though as the stress of upkeep of a home is less. When something breaks I just call the landlord. We too will probably never own again and I also am okay with that.

I choose to not own a "smart" phone. I have just a basic flip phone for calls & texts. No apps or social media on it. My husband has no cell phone @ all. I also don't use Facebook, Tic-Toc, Instagram, etc. It's possible to live this way & it allows for a simpler life. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm not ambitious career wise, but I am ambitious in my relationship with God. xo

When my 3 children were young we were not able to finance the 'branded' clothes, latest computer games etc their friends all had. We had time to take them on walks and foster family values. Two memorable outcomes came from this. My son at 13 years old told me his friend who had all the materialistic trappings of a stressed out family said to him 'I wouldn't be seen dead in that brand of trainers (Sneakers?)' My sons reply.....'I may not have branded stuff but I have a dad that can spend time with me, you never see your dad because he works too hard to get you those things'. He said his friends face was an expression of sadness and had no come back. The other thing is as adults they often come to me and talk about a the special times we had with them that cost us not a penny...remember when you took us down the lake and collected those colourful stones and we learned to skim. They say they have great memories and a good sense f value, I can't ask for more, I did my job. You are doing a great job by giving them time and security. They will feel that in their bones. keep going on that path it is worth it.

Growing up poor has taught me so much and has kept me humble. I’m so thankful for those years! Less truly is more.

❤You're right! I stay off social media. Not only can it make me insecure and jealous, it wastes time and causes unhappiness when I doubt myself.

I 100% agree with this. I used to be everywhere, doing everything. Now, I find I prefer to stay at home with my pets. I work from home and achieved President's Club at my job this year but instead of going on the fancy trip I chose to stay home because my pets were more important to me than that trip. Many might not understand but it doesn't matter to me anymore. I want to live a simple life with the ones that make me happy. ❤

That's exactly what I am always telling people around me. It's really exhausting as you say. What I'm more saddened about is that the younger generations are so obsessed with a fake and virtual life. Obviously they take examples from their own parents.... it seems the world is conspiring to keep us in this endless loop of consumerism. I truly hope more and more people will start to realise that simplicity is best. Take care all.❤❤❤

Although I never was chasing the dream of more is better, I still wish I had appreciated how much more the simpler life has to offer…..the whole LESS IS MORE theory. I just think I was living my life without intention. Now as I near retirement age (although I’ve been blessed to be a stay at home mom) I appreciate how much less anxiety I would have owning less. I just have very little want for most things. I will continue on my minimalism journey as best I can as the only person in my home who feels this way.

Apart from football/soccer on a Saturday I just didn't have the money for so many activities. My son doesn't think about what we couldn't do but about what we did do. Playing in the park,watching a movie together, reading books, baking, board games. Precious memories.😍

I really enjoyed this video. We do live in an age where people know the word more but don't seem to know the word enough. My husband and I live simply, my phone I bought secondhand, most of our furniture is secondhand. Books are from the library or charity (goodwill) shops. Our first date we went to a garden centre for a coffee and then had a walk in a park. We live in a small property to keep household bills low. We are fortunate to have a garden with lots of birds visiting, and have a green space close by. As for big houses, whatis the point of having a big house if you have to work 7 days a week to pay the mortgage and bills?

Beautiful message, Joshua, one that speaks with the same words and heart-space as my own. I am 100% with you on this. The main problem from where I stand is that our culture and society make it very very difficult to live simply, and not merely because of the outward trappings that you mention. This is what I mean: Forgoing material things is the easy part, but having healthy community and social connections is VITAL. Thus, it's extremely difficult to meet and connect with like-minded people in search of (or already enjoying) the simple life without being dictated to. Everywhere we look, drive, walk, talk, communicate, we are inundated with the cultural messages. We do not exist as isolated cells with resistant packaging. Humanity has been likened to the old adage "monkey see, monkey do" because we are a social species. We require each other to witness and mirror one another in order to find that meaning that makes life unfold in a healthy way. Our masters in the corporate worlds, which bring us so much higher a standard of living also suffocate our social "connective tissue" so that we pay attention almost exclusively to their matrix. Nature is one answer, to be sure... but choosing a simple life and working toward that goal is Noble; however, once one is on that ladder and ascends to the top, be sure to know that unless one's entire family or social circle is on the same path, it may be very very isolating and lonely. Just the same, AWESOME video and message! Blessings and much gratitude to you today and always.

Your message resonated very strongly with me. Thank you, Joshua.

Love it when I meet people who share the same perspective in life. God bless you more Josh.

Amen! Wonderful reminder of the beauty of The Simple Life! Thank you

Along with shedding the unimportant things (unimportant to me) I also shed those “friends” who either mocked my lifestyle or “pitied me” for not relying on expensive things to bring me joy. I’m settled…peaceful…and incredibly happy. I’ve met new friends with similar mindsets and am happier now than I ever have been. Another meaningful video. Thank you ♥

It was exhausting to see and very confusing. They got rid of everything but just bought more.

Such profound and needed words to hear today. I struggle to get rid of things because I work too much every week. Thank you Joshua❤

Well said Joshua!! This is how I feel!

Currently do the things Becker recommends. Totally agree, it’s all overblown.

Waw. Amazing. I have listened like I was listening to a poetry. So beautifully said and explained. Well done! 👏👏

Nice to hear other folks think the same ⭐️👍

Amen amen amen! Draw your satisfaction by walking in Gods ways . I have spoiled myself rotten with a very good income and l can tell you it was all a meaningless waist of time. Our wicked culture has normalized madness in its material pursuits. We were created to bring glory to God. I can tell you that is the happiest most fulfilling life possible! Thanks Josh for what you do!

I gave up FB over 10 years ago. Drama and flaunting life was way too much. I have my close friends and we call each other and text. And get together with them. I enjoy that. Done with keeping up with the Jones’. Was done with that over 10 years ago also. Ahhhhhhh

Amen, brother. Thank you for your message

I mean, it’s all about balance, but the agree completely!!!

Thank you Joshua.😊❤

Wow! Slow life, savoring the now and living a simple , meaningful life are all that matter. Thank You for this vid, so inspiring 🫶🏼

my life code: minimalism, integrity, no vice, no logos on clothing, goal oriented, focus, autonomy, individual thinking, reject religion, reject dogma, reject group think. effective, optimizer, value based actions.

Society downplays simplicity deliberately while exaggerating dynamic consumption.

Thank you Joshua...

Genuine joy, that's it.
