We all strive to be less stressed, less taxed, less over-committed.   So, why is it that we are the ones that add more to the equation?  We are a society addicted to more — more stuff, more money, more achievements.   The irony of our desire to live simply, is that there’s nothing more we need to add.  There’s a quote in the movie Fight Club that I love, “The things you own, end up owning you.”  I think this extends beyond material possessions.  We OWN our emotions, our goals, and our responses.   And, yet, we allow them to own us much of the time.  So, I say purge what you don’t need — physical or emotional.

Namaste.
