Our Possessions

2. Remove Unneeded Possessions from Your Home and Life.

Physical possessions are a burden to us.

They require time, energy, money, and always distract us from the things in life that matter most.

It is difficult to fully appreciate how much of a burden our possessions have become until we begin to remove them.

Contrary to what advertisers shout from the rooftop, more stuff will not make you happy. Quite the opposite is true.

The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t.

— Jesus: “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)
