Who are you?

“You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your f***ing khakis" -Brad Pitt (Fight Club)

"The interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, even after obtaining what you want, you’re still not satisfied. It’s this endless, nagging desire for more that leads to trouble. On the other hand, if you’re truly contented, it doesn't matter whether you get what you want or not. Either way, you remain content" -Dalai Lama

Yep, it was a large purchase

Even though I have embraced the minimalist movement and vowed to decrease my consumerism, there are those things that do add to the enjoyment of my life. For our couple Christmas present, a couple of months late but was in search of the best deal, we purchased a sectional. It was a large purchase that made me severely nervous but in the end will enhance family time by offering seating for all of us as well as guests that come calling. And yes, before I purchased it I dwelled on the questions I always ask before making a purchase....will this purchase enhance my life and or make it easy? Yes, I believe it will.
