Minimalism and the Important Stuff

Colin Wright talks about minimalism and how simplifying and focusing our time and energy in life can help us get more out of life. Minimalism isn't about owning as few possessions as possible, but rather about owning the right possessions, it's about focusing on what matters to you.

When it comes down to it, a lot of what we buy, do and spend time on in life is what we think that we should be doing because it's the norm in our city or it's what our friends are doing. When we take a closer look at our lifestyles we might find that a lot of what we are spending our time on doesn't really line up with our values or what we believe about life. When we simplify our lives we will always have time left over to spend on what matters the most to us.

Lake Huron

One of my favorite things to do in Toronto during the summer is to take a daytrip to one of the beaches on Lake Huron. Yesterday we took a drive to Wasaga Beach since the weather was great, +31 degrees. As I was laying on my back floating in the lake I could feel how good that swim felt for both my body, mind and soul. It's days like these that give you energy and charge you up again, so that the joy will last all winter.
