Declutter and Walk Towards the Light

O'Keeffe Henszey - May 2013

Move past your clutter to love and compassion.

I’ve been reminded of the important part of life—compassion and love—by many things lately. Talking to people with ailing parents, folks with cancer, or to friends who have lost a child, it brings into sharp focus that this world is not about whether we need a four-slice Cuisinart toaster (although I really like mine) or front row tickets at a baseball game. While the media and our consumer society try to appeal to our insecurities and dictate what we value, let’s keep in mind that our stuff doesn’t own us. Life is about people, not things.

I co-led a six-hour workshop this past weekend about looking beyond our materialistic lives and assigning more value to what we learn in our lifetime than to what we earn. My friend Leah talked to the group about how to pass on to future generations in our families not just our possessions, but also our stories, wisdom, and values. I talked about getting rid of clutter in our heads, hearts, and houses to leave space for exploring possibility and moving forward to more meaningful lives.

Here’s two quotes to really drive home the distinction between a life of collecting versus a life of giving. The first is from Victor Lebow, an economist who published a paper in the Journal of Retailing in 1955 that described our society’s future.

Hear from Tom Leonard, Dix Hils, NY- age 51

“I just wanted to thank you for all your help in coaching me. I find you to be insightful, intelligent and caring. I also admire your own physical accomplishments and perseverance in achieving your own lofty goals. I only wish that I lived closer to you, so that I could meet you and discuss life while having a cup of coffee together. Best Wishes, Tom”
