One person’s essentials are another person’s junk.
Hoarding is childish; letting go is a sign of maturity.
A habit becomes a habit only if the benefits are clear and compelling.
Ideas become clutter when they are uncoupled from the desire to take action.
Embarrassment is a sign that something is wrong with either your actions or the story you’ve been told about those actions.
Minimalism is a mindset, not a product.
Life-living is more rewarding than life-style.
Letting go isn’t only free—it’s freedom.

I know that 10 bucks can be a lot of money for many, and it has been for me at times, but the amount of value that I'm getting out of this podcast from all of you is just tremendous for this relatively small contribution. Feels great to be back on my first episode in several months, and great to see Ryan joining on this one as well. Thank you, Josh, TK, Ryan and Team, for all of the great thoughtful, thought provocing and helpful output over the years. I am truly grateful.
