The architecture of life...


Minimalists have a basic structure for a better life.



Robust yet flexible is the golden rule for life.

Minimalists have a unique architecture for life. This architecture has a consistent theme which is "be robust yet flexible" [see photo].


To convert that mantra into a viable architecture the minimalists count on three steadfast principles.


First, be flexible in ways that ensure you remain an independent thinker. The ways most minimalists do this is by focussing on one's individual needs. To better facilitate this feat they sharply reduce the collective wants that others support. It is the mind of the minimalist that provides him or her with the flexibility to live a productive and happy life.


Second, they curate habits that reflect their individual needs not others routines. These habits are a natural extension of the purpose the minimalist has set for his or her life. It is the directed practice that a minimalists performs that give his or her life its robustness.


Third, they recreate their beliefs sets in ways that help to form a context for a minimalist's purpose-driven life. It is this set of needs-based beliefs that facilitates a life that both flexible in thought and robust in habit.
