"Our
life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify." Henry
David Thoreau
Take a look at your surroundings right now. Are you surrounded by "stuff?" Your "stuff" is supposed to make your life easier...simpler...but it may actually be doing the opposite. Accumulating more things can clutter our surroundings and our minds, detracting us from our own happiness.
Most of us are aware that in our society, consumerism is king. Retailers, of course promote this and to some extent, we need to keep purchasing things to support our economy, but how much stuff do we really need?
Have you ever felt the need to upgrade when what you had was actually working just fine? This is seen a lot with cars, TVs, phones... Is there really anything wrong with what you have or are you upgrading for the sake of upgrading? Or, are you being convinced by some savvy marketing scheme that an upgrade is necessary?
Take a look at this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live then ask yourself,
"Is there anything I've been coveting lately that I could do without? How can I simplify my life?"
Enjoy the humor and have a happy Friday!
