Paying attention

Information we receive is often distorted by our own views and opinions. We don't pay enough attention to what is happening in front of us or around us, because we're busy running behind schedule, thinking about the past or the future. We fail to appreciate the blessings we're surrounded with because we choose to focus on other meaningless things. 

Take a moment and consider everything you already have. Most probably you have all that it takes, but you can't see it because you're not paying attention to the essential. Take note.

The idea is to reduce consumption, be comfortable with what you have and live a clutter-free life.  Many of us cannot tolerate the idea is living without being surrounded by material things. We feel so comfortable in an environment of accumulation and we fail to see that our belongings are not only taking physical space but also mental space. I was slowly progressing towards clearing my space when I came across the term and it clicked. It was like the word definition to what I was going through. Although I wouldn't call myself a minimalist, I now take more care of my space. I'm more appreciative of what I have and feel less compelled to buy things. I realise material things are not valuable to us unless we are using them. With this in mind, I ask myself if I really need that item, will it bring anything positive to my life?
