Watch this video to get a wider knowledge about the concept of minimalism -

In the above documentary what catches my attention was ' JOSHUA - the Minimalist ' . I listened how he described the concept of minimalism and it did strike my mind in a reallu positive way . He explained how earlier he owned a lot of stuff , everything that he desires but still he wasn't happy enough . Those things didn't give peace to his heart and mind . His hear kept on rushing to find happiness and peace , now that he has changed his idea of living , he is actually focusing on only the basic needs and now he is proudly saying that this is what is giving him joy . The one question that he asks himself every time he is about to purchase an item is that ' Does this add value to his life ? ' and if not he has to be willing to let it go . 

Also Peer Advice plays a great role , looking at Joshua , his friend Ryan also understood the concept and adapted this vision and it actually made him happy . 

This video shows that how these two wonderful people are trying to spread the concept of minimalism to the world with their own life experiences .

It's also seen that minimalism is not about giving up on your life , instead it's about living it in a sober manner. A lot of people are seen adapting this concept and this video is trying to convey the story of these few individuals , about how their whole life changed with minimalism. 

At the very end of the documentary we see a family , where one person has adopted this concept without forcing any of his family members to do so . His wife has different needs and thus has a different path of minimalism . Minimalism is not the same for everyone . Each individual is different and so are their needs . 

Joshua beautifully explains that the idea of success is not always about making money , we should turn our heads and looks towards a simpler better side .
