The Good Stuff We Have But Don’t Use
It is very easy to accumulate stuff nowadays when online ordering is done with a few clicks and the stuff reaches our doorstep in no time. What’s has become an increasing problem is using the stuff we own.
Example: Most of us use only 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time (the 80/20 rule applied to our wardrobe), without even realizing it.

Saving Stuff For The Special Day
Whether it is a scented candle, a bottle of wine, or an expensive jacket, we tend to keep it for a special occasion.
We usually do not use something as we have unconsciously decided that it is too nice.

Not Being Enough And Not Having Enough
- Not Having Enough: Part of the mindset of hoarding the good stuff comes from the previous generations that had to stock up due to war or scarcity.
- Not Being Enough: We gather stuff to be someone we think we are not, promising ourselves that we will wear the clothing/jewellery or accessory item we are buying, someday.
The problem is someday isn’t coming to anyone, as life can change in an instant, leaving the scented candles and the special dress in the closet forever.

Live Right Now
Life is not about postponing the good stuff, and one has to live today to the max, as any day can be our last day.
Use the things that are lying in your closet: the dress that is too bright, the expensive shoes you haven’t worn in years, or the piece of jewellery that is waiting for you to adorn it. Signal to yourself that you are no longer letting life slip by your side, and live to the fullest right now.
