why did I asking myself this questions that really change my life.

is my stuff make me happy if I by more


stuff will I be happier what really gives me joy why wouldn't I met more of that and did my life have to
continue on this downward Spiral or could I choose to actually create a life that I loved after all for 40
years as nature designer I have been designing for other people's lives all over the country why not
design my own. in december 2015 I had a Christmas party in my home I draw my nest into how much
longer are you went to living in the big house by yourself.I said I went one year from now living in the
small apartment in central city Philadelphia. I have no from where this word came from but in that
moment I realised that my word created the future I would live into. January 2016 I sat on the living
room floor of my big home I looked up and I cried I had no idea where to begin so rather then making
downsizing a project which is always harder I decided to make it a game so I called family and friends
many of them are here right now and enroll them in the past pulley of helping me attacks just one area
of my home at a time for just 4 or 5 hours on this Saturday or Sunday so week by week from entire year
me they helped me to Spurs stuff that I collected over many many years, downsizing is not without
emotions at one point I found myself fathers alarm clock and I could hear him winding it to get up
early to provide for family as my relationship just stuff changed the process got easier and easier and
what I realised was things that make me happy. a year later I am central city Philadelphia my beautiful
little jobox apartment I moved from my 5000 thousand square feet home in the country to 867 square
feet in central city .I gave away 95% of my possession to people who needed them or wanted them
and I am leaving on 5% of what I won't search. I have all I wants and all I need and have never been
happier I am leaving that simple dreadful life that I experience to send ago I am living in alignment with
what matters most to me more time with family and friends more resources more freedom travel to
learn to actually the life that I designed for myself. a ripple effect of downsizing is that i also downsize
my companies work week for better work life balance we now work 3 days and we play 4 and why am
I do that sooner and we actually grew the company by 27% Less quarter.
