Going with the flow

Throughout our lives we have a tendency to become obsessed by the relentless pursuit of material things, houses, cars, clothes, furniture, boats, toys and trinkets. The more we HAVE, the more we want. The more we WANT, the more we get . . The more we GET, the more we WEIGH OURSELVES DOWN. The end result to all this acquisition is that if and when the crunch comes, we suddenly find ourselves buried under a mountain of possessions, most of which we have little or no use for. A wise old man once said, "that if we own any more than 100 items in our lives, it is too much." Ascertain what you really need to survive in this world and get rid of the rest. Advertise them, have a garage sale, give them to friends or charity. The more fluid you become, the easier you will be able to move through life. To circumnavigate the problems. And to be free. Hard habit to break however, for a lifelong collector since birth.
