Put Stuff In Its Place

From the book Simple Secrets for Becoming Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, by David Niven

‘Understand the limited value of the things you can buy. The pursuit of all things bigger and newer drives people to jump on an unfulfilling treadmill of getting money and spending money. Define the things you truly value, but do not let yourself get caught buying for the sake of buying.

…consider how much of what (you) have is really necessary….

…clutter drains energy and creativity, and that getting rid of it opens the door to greater productivity, personal growth, and peace.

People for whom materialism was the main priority had the lowest life satisfaction.’

Winners understand that materialism has limited value.
