Said timeless problem, rich or poor, old or young, married or single, successful or struggling, modern or ancient. What people do is we accumulate stuff. We accumulate accumulate accumulate until our homes, our cars, our minds, and our schedules are cluttered. In Meditations, Marx really chokes about people whose abundance leaves their owner with no place to shit, And that's just the physical stuff. People also accumulate problems and grudges and anxieties and opinions, piles and piles and piles of them. Our mental load grows and grows. It builds slowly until we feel overwhelmed, stuck, and weighed down. And there is only one way out, ruthlessly decluttering. We have to eliminate, eliminate, eliminate. We have to get rid of stuff, get rid of our baggage, let go of beliefs, let go of worries, let go of people. We have to stop buying and stop saying yes. We must free ourselves from the weight of excess, shed what's unnecessary, and clear away what is holding us down. We all experience injuries, pain. There's physical obstacles, things we can't do that hold us back. That is a part of life. But what we have, ultimately, is a choice about how we respond to those setbacks.
