Letting go, one step at a time

    

How much is enough? Do you really need 23 pairs of shoes?

Or seven sets of sheets for your bed?
Or that handy-dandy gadget you just saw advertised on television?
 
How many things that you have bought are still in your home but not being used?
 
Acquiring things has become such a habit that we often don’t consider the cost of acquisition.
 
Material possessions cost you storage space, and they cost you the time it takes to shop and care for them.
The more you own, the more you have to take care for. 

 
           Tell you Story
 
Before leaving Moscow, former Soviet
Union we had do dispose all of our possessions. All of it. Soviet authorities
gave us small list of things that we could bring through the border.
 
Selling good things for little money at that time wasn’t the case. Shortage of everything in stores make people want to buy used things as long as they were the thing they desired to poses, and couldn’t get in stores.
So we gathered some money for those.
On the other hand there were many friends that I won’t sell. I was packing gifts for them. I thought, at least they would have some kind of memorabilia from  us.

 

When everything was gone, all we had left was  6 suitcases of personnel possessions and 4 out of that were souvenirs.
We were allowed to bring no money accept $50 US per person. That’s all.
 
That letting go was the first step we needed to go through.
It was only material and physical things.

 

What about the rest???
