How Much Stuff Is Enough?

>

Stuff, toys and trappings of success. Much more is superior. Bigger is greater. Are you measuring your good results with all of the tangible possessions that are a testimony to your worth and value? Don't get me wrong - I like stuff, too.

The question that needs to be asked is - if you lost all of your stuff, would you nonetheless really feel productive? If you had to start all over again from the beginning, would you nonetheless believe in yourself and your mission?
Too lots of men and women are living in a fantasy world believing that their address, automobile, toys and a variety of possessions are symbols of their achievements and good results.

Most of us have a lot additional stuff than we require, will ever use, or can possibly take pleasure in. I know people who have five cars in their garages, 4 homes, enough furniture to outfit a hotel, and pretty small peace of mind.
Stuff is nice. Stuff makes life additional convenient - or does it? Computers simplify our lives. Who ever sold that bill of goods is a genius. I have spent extra time plowing by way of manuals, dealing with laptop or computer technicians, attempting to recover lost information, and attempting to evaluate all of the information my personal computer spews out on a every day basis than I care to keep in mind. Not to mention hours attempting to get my way by way of the maze of the Net.

I believe in progress, but I also believe in simplicity. I like toys, but I wish I had all of the money I have spent on toys in the past 35 years - toys that have broken, rusted, gone out of style, etc.
Why not take an inventory of all of the stuff that you no longer have to have, use, like or want. It could be an intriguing physical exercise.

My final believed: Stuff is beneficial, too considerably stuff can be distracting. Toys are fun, but too numerous toys can cause you to use them only out of guilt. Studying is wise but what are you using of what you are understanding? Pleasure is good but to immerse your self only in pleasure will tend to deaden you to the needs, discomfort and reality of actual life .
