This is your life. You can decide for yourself what you do with it. You can do anything, but not everything. So focus on what is essential for you, and ban everything from your life that is holding you back from living the way you want to: Possessions, activities, relationships, eating habits or thoughts. Don’t let yourself be guided by convention, or by what other people expect of you. Stand still for a moment and then go after what is important to you. Make a conscious choice, every time. Live a life true to yourself. Live an essential life.
