In reply to Steve Stork. Thank you for that Steve, I appreciate what you've written. I tend to think that by adopting a minimalist lifestyle of any kind, the mindset has to be right, and I absolutely concur that it also means shifting our perspective of what we consider to be success. With my very best wishes to you, Adam.

The accumulation of ‘things’ seems a uniquely American phenomenon, and is physically evident in the rising incidence of obesity. So; an apt analogy is to consider a person who is carrying 300 pounds of adipose tissue; how that limits agility; the secondary health consequences; etc. In the same way, excess responsibility (chasing after money and things) limits happiness; produces relationship difficulties; etc. The difficulty is that while it is easy to see obesity as a negative condition, we do not recognize it in excessive busy-ness. In fact, most people mention debt and over-scheduling as positive things, indicative of ‘achievement’ and ‘success’. Yet, the negative consequences are just as real. So, adopting a minimalist lifestyle is only possible if one revises their paradigm of success as personal happiness.
