LifeBlood: What if you lost everything tomorrow? Not your family. Not your health. Just...your stuff. Your house. Your furniture. Your closet. Your garage. Everything. What would you replace…
But there are plenty of things going on right now in my life that I know that I need to address.
I know that I need to evaluate and find out if this shit just burned up, would I be better off? And for that stuff that the answer is yes, well, that's a pretty compelling case.
So if you did lose this thing in a fire, what would you bring back? Your bed, your computer, your pictures.
So, um, that's kind of the second thing is what are things that you don't necessarily need to bring back essentially right away, but then the second column is things that are useful.
And then what would you get rid of on just not allowed to come back in? And obviously it should be unused subscriptions, clothes that never fit or that you've never worn, duplicate stuff for your kitchen, boxes that are in storage, all that stuff.
What comes back immediately, what maybe will come back eventually, and what's just not coming back.
Think about what is it that really owns you? What's got your number? What's taking your attention? What's, what's taking or giving you way more anxiety and agita or stress than it is bringing you value, value? What have you mistaken for success? And what, if you never bought it again, would make your life actually worse? If you never bought this thing again, what would make your life worse? What item would that be that would not having it would make a life worse? It's interesting.
So less stuff, more freedom, less obligations, more intention, less consumption, more creation, less maintenance, more living.
Would I buy this again if it disappeared? If it burned in a fire, would I buy it again? Certainly the goal should not be more.
And in a lot of ways, those are the enemies of just living a content life.
