New Years Resolution

We are already in February but for fun I made this entry on 2013-12-31 and wrote down my new year resolution.

Being happy with the things you need instead of the things you have!

It's a bit strange when reading it. This resolution helped me in getting rid of some books that I have laying around. I went to the bookstore and sold them for a few bucks but the thing is I don't need it anymore.With it, I also looked at the list 'Things I want' and crossed out cups/bowls and the citrus press. I already have a hand citrus press and I learned to love that again. There are still enough cups and bowls so I don't need to have new ones.

A lot of times I'm happy with the things I want to have. It's so ridiculous cause it's the things that I need that plays an important role in my live.

The thing I need in the bathroom are my slippers. As you already know they are awesome with a lot of holes. When the tiles get wet it's really slippery and as we don't have a bath math anywhere, the slippers are essentials.

I looked in the bathroom and found that the most essential things are the slipper, face towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, scrub cloth and shampoo. I never really appreciate those stuff, but without it I would certainly get mad for it just not being there.

I think my resolution makes me learn to appreciate the normal things. Cause normally, I wouldn't care about my toothpaste or anything in my bathroom, cause I already have it and it's nothing special. This resolution thought me how to be grateful of what I have around me and actually need.

By realizing that the essentials are what I need, I already have discardge a small batch of my books. Because thing I don't need, I don't need to own. Slowly but efficiently this years resolution helps me in getting rid of excess stuff.
