Joshua, Ryan, and T.K.’s pithy, shareable, less-than-140-character responses. Find more quotes from The Minimalists at MinimalMaxims.com.

If everything is precious, nothing is.
If it no longer lifts your soul, let it leave your shelf.
You can’t let go if you can’t hold on.
No matter how much you care about your things, your things don’t care about you.
Your possessions demand your care, but offer none in return.
No matter how attached you are, your things remain indifferent.
If it’s not a “hell yes,” it’s a no by default.
When consumerism divinizes consumption, it’s best to remain brand agnostic.
Every identity is a false identity.
Running away is driven by fear; walking away is guided by intention.
