The Enough Manifesto

Take only what you need.

Fresh air is free.

A walk clears the head far better than any drug.

1000 True Fans is all it takes.

Make do with what you have.

Fix things when they break.

Consume less.

Work less.

Have less. Be more.

Stop digging. Look up.

You are enough. Just as you are.

Be aware of how little water it takes to wash. Metaphorically speaking. You don’t need a swimming pool to take a bath.

How many rooms do you need to live? You can only inhabit one at any given time.

There is no need to impress anyone.

In fact, trying to impress others is a waste of time. Everyone is too self-obsessed to give a shit about you.

You can’t take it with you.

You have to either use it or give it away in the end.

The more you have, the more you have to lose.

What you have is unimportant. What you do, is.

The most expensive car doesn’t go any faster in a traffic jam.

The best things in life are free. Or they cost very little.

The higher up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the less things cost.

The only label you need is your own.

Designer labels do nothing more than advertise products for others.

Be yourself.

Stuff doesn’t make you happy.

Less is more.

Simplify. Amplify.

The calmest spaces are those with the least clutter.

One of the greatest freedoms is the freedom from our ties to ‘stuff’.

Quality is far more important than quantity.

Buy the best you can not the most you can.

Don’t keep the second best anything. If you have a second-best item, throw it away! You only need the best version of anything.

Your best life is the quality of your experiences. Not the quantity of your things.

It’s more important to mean a lot to a few people than a little to everyone.

Make the last thought you have before you die, “That was enough.”
