Failure to organize is a gift

Inspiring quote
We will not die if our stuff vanishes.

 

Failure is a gift… if we learn from it. And the beautifully redundant lesson is that failure is not fatal (exceptions to everything, but you get the picture).

Toss things. Give things away. Repurpose.

Worst case, we will feel separation anxiety.

Best case, we feel a freedom we haven’t felt in a long, long time.

And we’re talking a freedom that is beyond amazing.

Incomprehensible.

Joyful.

This, son, is freedom…

Dear son, we’ve talked about all too common approval addiction in society and how the parental focus for us has been on you finding your worth in what you have accomplished, not in what someone else is pleased with.

It is in our self awareness that the approval from others is no longer necessary, nor even desired.

This, son, is freedom.

And joy.

Happiest of days.

Keep reminding yourself you can do this

A lifetime of stuff whittled down to this (can I dump 50% more?)

 

Keep reminding yourself you can do this.

You can discard, recycle, or donate the clutter surrounding you.

You’ll never use this again.

You know this.

Moving on is freedom.

Holding on is prison.

Three most important things in real estate apply differently at home.

In real estate, it’s location, location, location.

At home, it’s organize, organize, organize.

Not sorting your soup and vegetable cans in alphabetical order.

Having effective, efficient systems for getting the paperwork of (your) life done.
