Other people’s problems become your problem only if you pick them up.
There is no bigger ego than that of the Helper.
Emotional clutter sits beneath the physical clutter.
You are complete, even in an empty room.
If an object does not enhance your life, it is clutter.
To cling is to batter the present moment with the past.
Possessions will never complete you, but they can incomplete you.
Procrastination is a byproduct of emotional clutter.
Minimalism isn’t scarcity; it’s abundance healthfully expressed.
You can’t teach someone if you’re not willing to become their student.
Your boundaries form the contours of your peace.
Every benefit has a cost, but not every cost has a benefit.
True freedom stands beyond the need to convince others.

The bike thing could’ve been about my elder son. He left his not cheap bike somewhere on UofA campus and… forgot where he left it. Wasn’t using it much so he just didn’t care.
