When we throw out the physical clutter, we clear our minds. When we throw out the mental clutter, we clear our souls. And we need both of those vital parts of our being to be in good working order as we move into the next -and greatest- segment of our lives. — Gail Blanke (via leejonez)

Most people don’t have the balls to go after their dreams or goals and so they put down those who do. They use ‘criticism’ and being a ‘realist’ as veils to hide behind but in reality they are cowards. They don’t take responsibility or accountability for not achieving their goals. — Layne Norton

Less is always an advantage - alt.adrianshort

minimalmac:

Rather than trying to accommodate what we’ve got, we should work the other way. Find the threshold that makes sense for you, that you’ve got the time to maintain, that you can afford and that creates an acceptable amount of work and complication for you.

A wonderful way to think about the concept of enough and applying it to the data we care about. Read the whole thing because he comes at it from an angle that appeals to me. That being, how easy it is to back up and “spread around”.

newsweek: Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler tells us the life cycle of his clothing & accessories: “When I found a good shirt, I wore it to death until it turned into a rag, and I hung it from the mike stand. Then I turned that into a scarf, and that scarf turned into something else. At first, it hurt so much to think that someone might feel that it wasn’t cool, but I went, F—k it. I didn’t care what people thought.” [Photo: Kevin Mazur / WireImage-Getty Images]
