The Advantages and Disadvantages of Minimalism

by Raymund Tamayo
Possessions are always going to be a part of life.

Everybody owns stuff, including you and I.
Even extreme minimalists own a few things, albeit they are really quite minimal.
The relationship of people and stuff is so complex that it can be ironic at times.
Sometimes, the poorer a person is, the more stuff he appears to have.
Why? Because the less income or money a person has, the more "just in case" feelings he caters.
How about you?
Examine yourself right now.
Think about the quantity of your possessions versus its quality.
Can you count it?
Are you aware of everything you own?
Do you have stuff that you don’t use but still cater in your life?

How Minimalism Affects Life
Minimalism affects life in a way that it eliminates everything that is unnecessary to make way for the necessary.
It makes everything a favorite because a minimalist only keeps what is important and beautiful to him or her.
When all our stuff is our favorite, we live with more peace of mind, le…

Project 333: Week 13 Update (Final Week)

by Raymund Tamayo
I’ve reached the end of my Project 333 experiment and I barely noticed.

My takeaways:
I learned that 33 items of clothing (31 to be exact) are more than enough for me to live a happy life.Actually, it can be lesser if not for my day job which requires me to wear 5 sets of outfits every week.Even less if I discard my corporate jacket, black leather shoes, watch, and my rarely-used cream slacks. (Would have had only 19 things.)My happiness isn’t directly proportional to the size of my wardrobe.No one notices what I wear week after week after week. (Or maybe, I just don’t care what they think.)Clothes don’t make me a better person.Choosing which clothes to wear in the morning shouldn’t be on top of my decision-making priorities.I now wear all my clothes and I like all my clothes. Unlike before where a few items here and there are just occupying precious closet space. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience.
Matter of fact, I think I’ll go o…

4 Bible Verses To Encourage You During COVID-19 Quarantine

by Raymund Tamayo
Instead of filling our days with mindless activities and depressing news, it would be good to fill our minds and hearts with the Word of God. Especially now that we are under Enhanced Community Quarantine.
Among its many other benefits, God's Word encourages and inspires us.
Here are four Bible verses that have helped encourage me during these times.
1. Deuteronomy 7:21 “Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.” Trust God. He is great, awesome, and our Almighty Father. He created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). We can trust Him.
Trusting God means knowing, believing, and obeying His Word. It means holding on to His promises even when we can't see how it is going to happen.
God is faithful and He does not lie. He is All-powerful to fulfill what He said He would do.
Prayer: Father, You are great and awesome and worthy of all praise. You are faithful and just, and You are our promise-keeping God. Th…
