I can’t always get to this immediately and really enjoy watching or listening later. But I’ll understand if you don’t want to keep it around.

Yes, Minimalism is like a horizon--you never get there. There's always a new horizon. All of them are beautiful. Thanks for the feedback, Ricardo!

(1) What some may see as "email clutter", others might see as continuing encouragement. (2) Great episode! I like to take notes as I listen. Relationships with people, jobs, things, all have expiration dates at their current level as was stated. My friendships from 20 years ago are different now. My relationship with my books have changed. Even my relationship with my wife has changed. Change is inevitable. (3) As I continue to listen to your podcasts, it has become clearer to me that as one gets older, priorities change. An easier, more relaxed lifestyle is what many want, yet still do not know how to get there. Minimalism can help. It may not manidest as an immediate result, but over time, it does. Thanks again!
