I have everything I need

 I have everything I need.  As long as I need nothing, I will always have what I need.  Therefor, I need nothing and have everything I need.  

As  Michelangelo said,  “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.”

We have everything we need, we just have to chisel away the superfluous material to see this clearly.

Where to Start? deClutter

Looking for a way to get started today? Start with looking for bags and boxes that you should be tossing anyways and then start filling them :) 

I had a LOT of paper grocery bags, still do and i just feel so good filling them, much better than spending money on more plastic. If your grocery gives you plastic those are great too, I don't get many of these and use them for trash. Plus the bags are smaller, so they fill quickly, and i can move it out and feel accomplished, and i am getting rid of all the paper bags too. Also works with those reusable bags, you know the ones that are too worn for you to want to use any more. The boxes you have been saving from various appliances, the warranty is long expired, and for me at least, i had passed many of the items on but still had the box in the attic, so fill it up and move it out 

This post was written in October of 2018 and never published. Today I am reducing the number of unpublisheddrafts I have on blogger.  I have no idea why I did not publish immediately, perhaps I was worried about relevance, or lacked the time to polish it. 3.5 years later, I can see that this post is still relevant, and even having written it myself enjoyed re-reading it. So here it is for the world, unpolished and honest.
