Things Won’t Make You Happy! Here are 5 Ways to Get Past the Paradoxes of Life

KSL Studio 5 Interview with Dr. Matt Townsend. YES! YES! YES! “Things won’t make you happy!” It seems like a swimming against the current kind of feeling when you embrace that idea. My husband grew up in South America and his ideas of “things” and “clutter” is so different than mine. His idea is “less is better” and my cultural experience wants me to “hoard & hang on to everything”. I’m learning. But I have seen that the less I have, the more free I am!

We were explaining this to my daughter, who is a natural “collector” of many items, tending to have much more than she needs. She was having a hard time getting rid of some of her clutter one day.

Her sister wisely told her, “It’s like you’re swimming, and the more you’re holding on to the more you’re going to drown.”

She got it! And she immediately started to get rid of things that weren’t really that special and didn’t need anymore. Wouldn’t it be great if we could feel more free from our things!! Live in the “less is better” mindset. And the less things we have, the MORE we’ll have time for quality experiences.
