He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. – Lao Tzu

Where do we start and stop with all the stuff?

I’m convinced we live in an era when it is easier to drown in stuff than at any other time in history.

So many of us are going to slip into old age wondering where, when and why did we get so much stuff.

This isn’t some guilt trip to make you feel bad for buying that really cool thing. I’m glad you like it.

I wonder if maybe, just maybe, we sometimes, just a little, buy some extra stuff we could (should?) do without.

And we shouldn’t buy and accumulate because kids will inherit our mess, or to save environment, or because we feel bad about all those poor people in that third world country somewhere else.

We should buy and consume less in order to bring more peace and joy into our lives. Because we’ll be better off. All that other stuff is great, but having more peace and joy in our lives so that we can spread it others will create the opportunity for more meaningful relationships.

Make it a great day.
