I'm really, really happy for going through this challenge with all of you. I'm really curious to see which things you threw away in the past seven days, into which commitment, you said, No, take a picture of some of the things you throw away and posted as the class project of this class. Let's create a community of people that are seeking and they're actively working towards building building a more meaningful and impactful life. And minimalism is a great way to build this important and meaningful life. And there is also a great way to fight this urge to continue to buy more and more and more things. The process of becoming aware of the things we buy and the things we keep is really challenging, but it is also really rewarding.

It's really impossible to not feel better when you have a simpler life, but still full of meaning. And as you can see, being a minimalist is not about throwing everything away. I kept my books, I didn't sell my other two camera lenses, and I have more socks than I will ever need. It really makes sense to me to become minimalist some people associated with sacrifice, but I don't really understand why others think you might need to be living in a van to become a minimalist. Well, for me, minimalism is a lifestyle. It is a way of going through life while experiencing it the best possible way.

It's about being aware of the things you buy. And knowing that if you buy less things, you can save more money that will allow you to buy other types of experiences. And if you have any type of addiction with consumerism, I highly recommend you to try this challenge and create a game for yourself which is basically you are only allowed to buy one thing if you throw away three things after emptying my closet and all of the other areas of my room. I really feel fulfilled. But if I don't stop my consumerism, I know that things will accumulate again. So I will start to apply in my life, the 90% rule, which was created by Greg McKeown.

So every time I have to make a choice to buy a new pair of shoes, or to start a business, I have to read that decision from one to 10. And so if it's not a nine, or a 10, it's a one. And by applying this rule, I think we will stop buying every single piece of cloth that we think it looks cute, because you should only buy it if you absolutely love it. And you can literally apply the 90% rule to every decision you have to make. And when we stop buying so many things, we start to save more money, the money you save by not buying everything that seems cool, can be used to travel to invest or to literally pay your kids education. And those are Things that are going to give you a long term return instead of just a short burst of pleasure that won't last.

And so I really hope this class and challenge made you really excited and committed to live a better life. If you have a lot of trouble saying goodbye to things, I highly encourage you to pick the book, The Magic of Tidying Up by Mary Kondo. This book was the catalyst of my change, but you don't have to read the book to start decluttering your home. Don't create more excuses for not throwing all of those things away. So thank you for watching this class and being so interested about learning more about minimalism, it shows your commitment to craft a better and simpler life for yourself. I would love to hear your feedback in opinion in the discussion, tell me how you think minimalism will improve your life.

And don't forget to post a picture as the class project of all the things you threw away. Thank you. very much for watching this class. I hope to see you in other classes. And please leave me a review on this class. Thank you
