“Less is more.” I have to admit, I do not really believe this. Inside me, I want to believe it. Particularly when I am overwhelmed and anxious by everything. All of the todo lists, piles of ideas, stacks of books, relationships to manage, inboxes to check…they all are like Leaning Towers of Pisa over me. I feel like they are going to collapse and crush me.
Despite this, I just keep pursuing more. I operate out of the belief “more is more.” I consume more. I pursue more. I collect more. I protect more. I value more. More…more…more!
Is more…well, is it more?
What one chooses to believe about this is going to impact…yeah, it is going to impact everything. It will determine what what you buy, what you keep and what you get rid of (no, never!). Your belief here determines who you spend time with, for how long and for what purposes. It determines which career you choose and how you pursue it.
There is a lot wrapped up in the belief that “more is more.”
Is it?
